How does our staff crew model and foster academic, character, and high quality expectations? They engage as the lead learners continuously throughout the year.
This week we spotted students examining our staff crews' LEARNER PROFILES we created at the beginning of the year. For our classrooms to personalize learning and differentiate for every student, we know that it begins with them as learners. Stop by our hallway to the library and check out our TEACHER LEARNER PROFILES. We are all CRITICAL THINKERS that are inquisitive learners who can reflectively and critically analyze information. This learner profile lives within our Expeditionary model as they is a close alignment to our practices. Our EL Model is rooted in exceptional practices that are deeply connected to our EUSD Framework for the Future and our Learner Profile.
Congratulations to our EPIC staff, Lana Brady, Sierra Satterstrom, and Lori Cisterna were presented grant awards from the Escondido Education Foundation. The Primacy of Self-Discovery - Inspiring Literacy in Our School Community "one Book" At a Time and Making Reading Engaging were the two grants award to foster a joy of reading and support our learners to get smart by doing good in the world one book at a time.
In this Thursday Den meeting, our learners examined our Design Principle of Collaboration and Competition, individual development and how group development are integrated so that the value of friendship, trust, and group action is clear. Students are encouraged to compete, not against each other, but with their own personal best and with rigorous standards of excellence. In dens, students were able to determine the meaning of Collaboration and Competition as they engaged in team competitions to build the longest chain with on piece of paper, 1 pair of scissors, and 1 glue stick.
I am grateful for the opportunity to inspire students to discover their unlimited potential through Excellence, Perseverance, Integrity, and Compassion. Together we are creating an EPIC school.
We are in this together and believe, We Are Crew, not passengers.
