We read in Music!
Hello Wonderful Elementary Faculty!
Thank you for a wonderful meeting last Wednesday. You are a wonderful bunch of talented and fun people to work with.
As we continue to move at a rapid pace into being the developmental researchers of the new model of education I know that there will be some discomfort on all of our parts.
I encourage/ challenge all of you to read the Global Achievement Gap and Disrupting Class before school starts next year. These two books have opened my eyes to the rapid changes that are upon us and why we must continue to move fast into the world of technology and student centric learning.
These books also provide some of the solutions for how to make the shift in practice happen.
Here is what we are up to this week:
Tuesday:
- 5:30 SAC mtg (Learning community leaders are responsible for sending Macy reports for their learning communities)
Wednesday:
- 4th grade Wacky Wednesday

Friday:

Coming Soon/Announcements:

- 1/26 3-5th SST meetings
