So today was the last day and I have to say that my small group was awesome. You can see them in the above picture. They were truly awesome and they are awesome people.
The top row from left is: me, Josh, Melindah (sp?), Stephanie, Ryan, John Aleksak
The bottom row from left is: Daniel, Carol, Tom, Denise, Don, Julia, Brian
They were from upstate New York, the Bronx, San Diego, New Orleans, and San Francisco, in no particular order. Just to protect their privacy, their last names and schools have not been listed.
Also, on the last day we had a session with Ted and Nancy Sizer, who are very prominent leaders in progressive education. So I learned from them also. There's a picture above of me asking them questions.
So here are things that I will take away from the seminar:
-I need to set up individual learning plans for many of my students who may take a longer road to college.
-Help instill the belief that each student should have their own individual tracking
-Respect each student's journey
-Understand that the achievement vs. equity balance isn't necessarily a battle but something we need to balance as a school
-We need a more precise description of PBL.
-Assess the effect of PBL.
-I need to be a part of team leadership and help the leadership team more proactively
-I need to see what the gap between my vision and practice is and work on the gap.
-I need to work on strategies that will help me reach lower-skilled students.
-I need to help install protocols that are valuable for our school.
