CHOOSING A SCHOOL: A PRIMER FOR PARENTS
The Good News: Highlights from the Conference for Assistant Heads and Division Heads
January 30 – February 1, 2008 Community We have a tradition in the fall on the first day called the hand shake ceremony, where each teacher, staff member and student K through 12 lines up in one huge line that strings out the buildings and throughout the campus to shake hands. Every child and every adult looks each other in the eye, says hello and shakes hands.
We held a Civil Rights Symposium with speakers from all over and created a civil rights timeline that wrapped around the whole building. We began the year taking students off campus for a day of bonding activities by grade so that they would begin on a positive note with each other.
We have a weekly Lower School meeting that starts off with a song and focuses on quality of life issues. We begin our day with morning meeting focusing on issues of patience, character and confidence. We emphasize the positive things happening in the school. We have a daily 10-minute meeting before school with the faculty. We run fall outdoor programs. Seeing the kids bond as they doing orienteering, and noticing how far they’ve come is so satisfying. We made the 8th grade and 5th grade buddies. The 8th graders mentor 5th graders and introduce them to MS activities
Resources from the NYSAIS 2007 Information Technology Conference can be found at http://neit.wikispaces.com/ If you could not attend, or are even curious about what went on, be sure to browse this excellent wiki, created in advance of the conference and by participants while attending. Conference attendees are still contributing to it. There are session notes, 249 photos, recordings, and more. You won't want to miss another conference once you visit this wiki, a model of collaboration! Thanks to all contributors. And here is a podcast of a conversation between Alex Ragone, Arvind Grover, Barbara Swanson and Matt Lipstein about the unconference on EdTechTalk. http://www.edtechtalk.com/21st_Century_Learning_57
