A Principal's Reflections
JUNE 4, 2017
I cannot overstate the importance of trust in establishing the foundation for relationships. In addition to trust various other elements contribute to the growth and strengthening of relationships. One that might not readily come to mind is association.

Not a day goes by when a student asks me how they’re doing in class. My teaching days have about three guarantees: a student will ask to go to the restroom when they already asked in their previous classes, a student will ask what they’re supposed to be doing even after I’ve written it for them on the board, and a student will ask me what their grade is.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

ASIDE 2017 It’s been a hectic spring, and as we approach the end of school in fewer than 8 days, we are busier than ever.

To that end, we thought we’d share in this post some of the sketchnotes that our students completed this year.

Kyle Schwartz. “I wish my teacher knew I don’t have a friend to play with me,” a student in my classroom wrote one year. The little girl who penned those words struggled with profound shyness and anxiety that made it difficult for her to connect with her peers.
