Value-Added Schools

No, this is non a shipping service most value-added evaluation practices.  I believe that ship has sailed. There is a dandy bargain of play inward K-12.
  • Implement personalized (time, path, place, strengths/needs) as well as personal (interests, passions, relevancy) learning strategies.
  • Actively address the “cemetery effect” yesteryear utilizing research-based as well as pattern thinking strategies to transform classroom learning environments.
  • Emphasize student agency (voice, choice, advocacy) every bit a correct for all
  • Re-think homework as well as outdated grading practices to create a civilization focused on R.E.A.L learning.
  • Capitalize on the ability of relationships yesteryear adding makerspaces, charging stations, thinking games (i.e. chess), as well as salubrious food/drink options to mutual spaces to promote conversation betwixt everyone.
  • Treat connectivity every bit a life-line to this generation of kids as well as render equitable access either inward the cast of devices or Internet. access. Connectivity is a way of life for our students. Take it from them as well as they volition banking concern agree out.
  • Add an array of after-school programs that connect to interests as well as careers of the future.
  • View technology every bit a ubiquitous element of the pupil learning sense rather than an add-on.

  • Sometimes our ain beliefs as well as experiences arrive the way of what’s possible. Thanks to the pupil who laid me straight, many of the strategies inward a higher identify were embraced, implemented, as well as sustained during my fourth dimension every bit a principal.  We non exclusively added value, only were able to demo efficacy inward our run going forward. Don’t permit your mindset or that of others concur yous back. Thinking differently is a start, only nosotros too involve to deed differently if nosotros desire to transform learning. Focus on the “what ifs” instead of the “yeah buts”. Don't gear upwardly students for something. Prepare them for anything. Say yes to a greater extent than than yous nation no. Most importantly, live on to a greater extent than empathetic yesteryear placing yourself inward the shoes of your students.

    So how accept yous helped to create a value-added school? I would dearest to take away heed as well as portion your ideas.
