A Principal's Reflections
OCTOBER 27, 2024
One of the best aspects of the work my team and I at Aspire Change EDU do is getting into leaders as part of the coaching process. During this time, we begin to collect qualitative evidence aligned with growth opportunities that they have set during initial meetings. No matter where our travels take us, one of the most common areas districts and schools want to improve is shifting from compliance to student engagement.

The Role of Gamification in Modern Education Gamification is used in many fields and industries. It is meant to promote customer loyalty in business: ” Find a discount among our 5 latest emails to get 50% off dedicated server hosting.” It’s a little different in education. Gamification in education aims to provide a more interactive learning experience for students while providing evidence of their progress through rewards.

The United States has experienced so many dynamic changes throughout its rich history. One of the most transformative periods was the Progressive Era, from the 1890s to the 1920s. During this time, the United States had to respond to the challenges posed by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and social issues. Ultimately, teaching the Progressive Era must address these concerns while showing how people had to work hard to improve society.

I've just finished my last guiding assignment for Rayburn Tours for this year. I would love to do more, and when I finish teaching that's one of my plans, but I will be back in 2025. It was up to Iceland again. Visited some familiar places, and one new one: the headland at Dyrholaey. which wasn't worth the detour. Mixed weather, but we had the bonus of the northern lights on the final night, which is always a privilege to see.

I have decided to take a break from my Ph.D. and there are several reasons why. First of all, I am tired. It has been a long haul, and after this semester I will take an extended break. At this point I do not know if I will go back and finish. Perhaps one day. I have just come to the realization that while it is a goal of mine, I am missing out on many other things that I’d rather be doing.

This is a question which Richard Bustin tackles in his new book Details of the book. I have a copy on the way. The new government’s launch of the curriculum and assessment review has put debates surrounding the national curriculum into the spotlight.

Prepare yourself to be educated, fascinated, and motivated by Ronald R. Van Stockum Jr. The latest in his Surrounding book series, “Fort Knox including Southern Indiana” is a hefty 760-page mix of—for starters—human, geological, and biological history. This is a sweeping tour of north-central Kentucky and, just across the Ohio River, south-central Indiana.

Dialogue between a teacher and an administrator as school opens in 2024: Teacher: There is mold in my classroom; it is on the whiteboard and on the ceiling tiles. We need to do something about this. You know I have health issues. This is unhealthy for me and my students. Administrator: We’ll take care of it. No worries. It’s just mold from the summer heat when the school was closed.
