Day one of class, Mike had […]

Have you been able to integrate assessment with the peer edits, or is it more a way for the students to collaborate without being marked?

I love the way you are intentionally trying to build empathy into the classroom. Often, as teachers we often talk about character in the classroom and in co-curriculars, but often times, if it is not built in intentionally, then those elements can be missed or not be addressed as well as intended. I know I often times struggle with…Read more

I hope to visit your class in the next few weeks as well!

Right now our framework for providing feedback is with a google doc. Not sure if that is the most effective way. I think i will try and find a way that works best at LCS for feedback that is easy, quick and relevant. I think a tech tool is the best way to go…Read more

He is a Crescent grad and has a good understanding of the independent school landscape. He not only emphasizes physical fitness, but a well balanced approach to fitness in general. I know that a lot of what we are learning this year could be applied to the challenges at UCC!

Thank you for your comment. In regards to your question on the Personal Fitness class, and how it is going, I can say from my perspective that it has been amazing. Initially, I thought that it might only attract the “sporty” types which I hoped wasn’t the case. In fact, it has attracted a wide range of students, from those who have not…Read more

As I read yours, I am thinking about how much my future writing can improve! I took away resources, learned about how you implemented your action plan and what you want to take away. Very inspiring!

I hope to take a better look at the resources you provided in hopes to integrate them into my classroom as well. I am intrigued…Read more

I really like the way you outlined your design think process to tackle the challenge of integrating technology amongst PYP faculty. I think you are well on your way to a successful action plan. It reminded me that I should use many of the principals that you outlined when undertaking my own action plan, specifically empathizing with users…Read more

I have always been a huge fan of infusing exercise into the classroom. As a physed/biology teacher, I am constantly working both curriculums into each other. I have used fit breaks as part of a longer class, where students go for a walk, do jumping jacks or stretch mid way through a…Read more

I am always challenged to find authentic ways to deliver experiential learning to my science students. I always preach that you learn science best by doing science, and not just reading or watching.
