Some of the areas we focused on Profile of a Graduate PoG - with off-site meeting discussing skills needed for high school students to graduate. This was time well spent as the district plans for a new high school. The district work with the organization, Battelle for Kids, they hosted workshops with educators, families and students to discover the leading competencies that are important to our community.
The process culminated during the visioning sessions for the high school building project when the 11 leading competencies were discussed and the group ultimately selected the leading six competencies for our Portrait of a Nashoba Graduate. Communication, Creativity, Culturally Competent Global Citizenship, Empathy, Learners Mindset and Perseverance Later in the month we were invited to attend Strategy meetings to provide input.
Our district offered PD Session on Elevating Voices and Embracing Equity with several outside professional presenters.
I continue to co-teach graduate level classes in the area of technology and share that information at local conferences with colleagues that facilitate digital learning Medfield Day of Learning see on twitter.
In addition, I submitted a proposal for the upcoming fall MassCUE conference next October at Gillette Stadium and have encouraged colleagues in my district to consider presenting their work!
