Connected Principals

Using my school as an example….I beleive the only outcomes we need for any lesson are these factors that my school has agreed upon: Learning is the primary focus of our school and we recognize learning as a life-long adventure. We value meaningful learning where students construct enduring understanding by developing and applying knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Increased understanding is evidenced by students who: - Explain its relevance - Describe how it connects to or conflicts with prior learning - Communicate it effectively to others - Generalize and apply it effectively to new situations - Reflect critically on their own and other’s learning - Ask questions to extend learning - Create meaningful solutions
