A Principal's Reflections

MARCH 17, 2024

Imagine a classroom buzzing with engaged students, actively constructing knowledge and diving deep into topics that spark their curiosity. This vibrant learning environment does not just happen by chance. It thrives under the guidance of a passionate, skilled educator who is constantly evolving alongside their students. However, like their students, teachers need personalized growth opportunities to stay engaged, motivated, and effective.

Written by Noelle Gutierrez Educators know the importance of academic vocabulary instruction. Student knowledge of academic words and phrases has a direct impact on their ability to acquire and comprehend information, which is why it should be a part of every subject area and class. As an instructional coach and administrator, I regularly observed teachers providing direct instruction using explicit vocabulary routines.

When some students hit an obstacle in school or college, they can take it as a sign that this whole education thing just isn’t for them. That can especially be the case for students who are racial minorities. That can be true with challenges like glitches in the federal financial aid forms or a student registration system, says Greg Walton, a psychology professor at Stanford University.

COLOGNE, Germany — Neriman Raim, a 16-year-old student in this northwestern German city, thought that after finishing school she’d want to work in an office. But two years ago, she did a two-week internship in an architect’s bureau, and it was tedious. Later, a placement working with kindergarteners led her to consider a career as a teacher — but not of kids this young.

Teaching creativity and creative thinking in K-12 has always been valued but often challenging to implement. Many standards and curricula don’t call out creativity explicitly, and teachers aren’t often trained on how to teach and assess creative thinking. As such, many students enter college and the workforce not having enough practice in key critical thinking skills that they need to be innovative problem-solvers and effective communicators.

Ask just about anyone what’s behind the downward spiral of youth mental health today, and chances are that social media will be on their list of causes. While it’s true that young people are increasingly struggling with mental health issues at the same time social media usage is ballooning, today’s available research simply hasn’t found one of those to be the driving force behind the other — in sum, correlation does not equal causation.

From time to time, discussions over the value of textbooks come back. Many teachers have moved away from textbooks over the last decade or so, except perhaps for exam groups. Fortunately I still get a few royalties each year from ones that I have written, and am also asked to write others which is nice. Many schools have moved towards online learning platforms such as OneDrive to host materials and resources, and track student work and be perhaps more flexible.
