FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

As we move into the second quarter of our school year we are already beginning to plan for next year. We want to take our lessons learned and implement them into our practice. We want to balance rigor with support, innovation with tradition and technology with personalization. I came across an article I would like to share with you that is shaping our thinking.

Continuing to Reshape Education

Although public education has been disrupted through the shifts required throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, it has also accelerated learning in unexpected ways. Online learning and assessments are a part of the educational landscape now and moving forward.

Carpe Diem: Convert pandemic struggles into student-centered learning (Thomas Arnett, August 2021 from Christensen Institute) found that some of the biggest pre- to post-pandemic gains among teachers will be for technologies used for managing online assignments (14% gain), live synchronous instruction over video (16% gain), recording lessons as online videos (16% gain) and creating online lessons (19% gain).

“I prefer to teach in person; however, I plan to use exactly what I have developed and used this year, only refine it more… [My students] learn from videos I make and then when doing the independent work, I am there to help them as needed. This year my students are all on different problems, different assignments, and they have been more independent than I have ever had students be in the classroom, and they LIKE it this way. They don’t want to all have to be on the same problem at the same time … those who are ready can go ahead and those who need extra help and to go slower can do so without feeling pressured”. (Teacher survey response from Christensen Institute)

Many families and staff are longing to return to a pre-pandemic reality however it may be the perfect time to consider our new expertise to provide more opportunity and student-centered approaches to learning.

Thank you for supporting our best practices and truly being a partner in helping us educate all of our children.

Dr. Stranges
