Agree/Aspire
  1. I agree with how completely out of the loop we are in terms of the lives of our students, since more than half of what the students do we are unaware of; we need to understand our ignorance in order to do things better
  2. I am blown away by what activities people are engaged in outside of school; I agree that we need to become even more actively involved in our students lives
  3. I agree that students need rules, especially through the “explain and train” method. I aspire to implement this in the Lower School
  4. I aspire to implement exercises in the classroom to help students build connections in their brains
  5. I agree that movement helps make connections and I aspire to implement these in my classroom
  6. I aspire to implement more differentiated assessments in my classroom to complement the authentic assessments I use
  7. I agreed with the information presented at the bullying workshops, particularly that the children need to be coached in order to prevent it
  8. I agree we need to be adaptable and help our students learn how to do that

What does this mean for our work with students?
  1. We need to be adaptable and need to teach our students how to be adaptable
    1. Don’t pigeon-hole students in leadership roles; mix it up
    2. Students need to learn how to see the bigger picture; they will have many different jobs within their lives
  2. It was interesting to physically become a student again; it was difficult to sit still for a few hours at once
    1. Good to put ourselves in the positions of our students
    2. Made me think about how to make our classes more engaging, physically and mentally, for our students
    3. Could we have students perform physical activities in class?
