A Principal's Reflections
MARCH 15, 2020
My experience in this area began over three years ago, thanks to having the opportunity to coach teachers and administrators at Wells Elementary School. Their influence can be seen and heard in my writing, presentations, workshops, and work with other schools. Challenge accepted! On a recent Sunday, I began my choice board journey.

In February, I had the opportunity to work with an incredible group of elementary educators from Nauset Schools on Cape Cod. As part of the PBL workshop, teachers designed project sketches. Join Tom the week of June 22 for a virtual workshop, ‘ How to Facilitate Project Based Learning in Remote Environments ’.

It’s 7:00 am, and I’m on my second trek from my car to our centralized district meeting space, lugging snacks, supplies and chart paper as I prepare to lead a workshop on best practices for technology integration for a group of 15 elementary teachers in my district.

Given my experiential education background, I’ve always been fond of and have used group team building and problem-solving activities with all of the age groups I teach – for example, see Team-Building with Elementary Students. Recently I went to a workshop on virtual improv activities. Blast left ? dodge right, etc.

So I’m sitting there in this professional development session, mostly women, mostly elementary school educators. As accountability systems pushed teachers to gain more certifications, the depth of knowledge became that much more daunting for the average person. They coalesce around classroom needs and approaches.

The first thing I would suggest to a school system wanting to create a STEM lab is not to try to buy everything in the beginning. This is what we currently have in our lab now that we are 3 years into the program: Wonder Workshop Dash and Dot Robots. These are our "go to" robotics for elementary students. Sphero Robots.

I often tell audiences during keynotes and workshops that my role isn’t to tell anyone what to do, but instead to get educators to think critically about what they do. Over the years, I have shared all of the wonderful things happening at Wells Elementary, as I am now in my third year as their coach.
