Students had the day off today, but our staff was hard at work learning together! 📚
We dug deeper into how to use classroom evidence and student work to understand what students need, give useful feedback, and adjust instruction. We also explored positive psychology and practical ways to support well-being and connection at school.
Members of our own staff members led an important conversation about the danger of labels and how we can better see and support each student as an individual.
Days like today give our team time to reflect, share ideas, and bring new strategies back to our classrooms. We’re looking forward to seeing our students again tomorrow! 💙
