1. I would like to see teachers break out of their comfort zone and not be afraid to take risks.
2. I would love to see lessons that require problem solving, reasoning and connections to the real world.
3. It would be great for all us to meet students where they are and build from there without making them feel like they are behind the curve. More growth mindset, the power of “yet’, versus “ he, she, can’t do this”.

Creating an environment where all students are able to learn how to learn and solve problems.  We want to prepare them for collaboration, mutual respect, and becoming a productive member of a quickly changing world.  I'd like to see teachers building on students strengths and support their weaknesses.

Our goal is to promote more student-centered and student-engaged classrooms and less teacher-centered instruction. We have a relatively small trained so far. We need to continue investing in more training.  We also want to make students more motivated to take control of their own learning, which includes building their capacity to self-assess and adjust as necessary.  Education is for the students; they should be instrumental in the process.

1. It would be nice if students in all 3 elementary buildings had the same academic experience for the core classes
2. It would be nice if teachers were not afraid of test scores and would let students be creative in solving problems
3. It would be nice if students were not afraid to fail and learn from any set backs....pick yourself up brush yourself off and try again
