Supporting each other with a collaborative approach is one of our building norms and agreements. I very much felt this agreement this week as I worked with fellow principals and district office staff on some upcoming projects. From matters of testing to helping to find substitute teachers, I valued the collaborative approach to these bigger projects.
In classrooms, I saw teachers implementing ideas and honoring commitments from our recent staff development activities last week. I saw two social studies lessons that aligned with their commitment to their 6-12 colleagues made during our staff development day and many places where student voice was being sought in lessons and decision-making. Thank you to our students and staff for living our norms and agreements!
