Speaker and author, Pauls Sloane says, “Creativity is thinking of something new. Innovation is the implementation of something new.” An innovative classroom creatives an environment of collaboration and risk-taking within defined principles and routines. Students are encouraged to problem-find! Innovation starts with a question not an answer. In this environment students set goals and practice without penalty with the opportunity to make revisions. Teachers in an innovative classroom don’t rely on 1 teaching technique, but instead include teaching strategies that are always evolving, and are different from day to day.
Many of us find ourselves in a slump in the month of February. It is the midpoint between Christmas break and Spring break. But February is the month of love, right? So how can we bring ourselves out of that slump? By loving people! This is one of Dr. Rollo’s pillars. So what impact does loving people have on students and families? Today we are going to talk with 2 students about the special relationships they have with their teachers and the impact that has on their learning.
January is a great time to reflect and refocus on the goals you set at the beginning of the school year. What was your goal? What progress are you making toward that goal? How is that goal impacting the students you serve everyday? Today we are going to talk with 2 students who are setting goals in their classes to see how they feel in a classroom that has defined goals.
