🌟 Heartwarming Moments in Teaching! 🌟 Today, while preparing for our upcoming investiture ceremony, I asked one of my students for a quote. Initially at a loss for words, she didn't just come back with one but returned with a treasure trove of 50 thoughtful quotes! This gesture not only touched my heart but also underscored the deep bond we strive to cultivate with our students. Here are some ways we work towards building this connection: Listening Actively - We make it a point to listen to our students’ ideas, concerns, and suggestions. This shows that we value their contributions and respect their voices. Encouraging Expression - We encourage students to express their thoughts and feelings, whether through words, art, or other mediums. This reinforces their confidence and helps them feel seen and heard. Consistent Support - By being consistent in our support and guidance, we create a reliable and safe environment for our students. This reliability builds trust, a fundamental aspect of any strong relationship. Celebrating Individuality - Acknowledging and celebrating each student’s unique qualities and achievements fosters a positive and inclusive classroom atmosphere. As educators, we are reminded daily of our role not just in teaching, but in nurturing the whole individual. Moments like these affirm that our students can thrive when given the trust and space to grow. A big thank you to my student, who went above and beyond! This is a beautiful reminder of why we teach and the impact we can have on nurturing young minds. 📚💫 #Education #Teaching #StudentSuccess #Inspirational #SafeLearningEnvironment

This question is a game changer. Asking yourself “so what?” and pushing hard for clarity in your answer will transform your college application.

📚 William R Satz Middle School Assembly – Building Character 📚 Character is 85% of Success – it's more than just grades that matter. At this upcoming assembly, I’m excited to share practical strategies with all of you on how to build strong character alongside academic excellence. John Wooden said it best: “Talent will take you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.” That’s exactly what we’ll be diving into—how to develop the integrity, resilience, and perseverance needed to thrive not only in school but in life. Through engaging stories and hands-on tips, I’ll be giving you all the tools you need to reach your full potential. Let’s come together and understand that character is the real foundation for lasting success. Can’t wait to see you there! #CharacterMatters #AcademicExcellence #Integrity #StudentSuccess #HolmdelStudents #StudentEmpowerment #Resilience #GrowthMindset #DrWright

We're hosting an online conference about uncertainty in education! You can apply to do a short talk. You can just participate in the discussions. You can apply to join our after-party where we are going to work on a statement paper based on our discussions or you can add to our annotated bibliography about uncertainty in education. Check out the details on our conference website. https://lnkd.in/gzn_QkBW When: July 16th-17th, 2024. Why: We think there are lots of reasons to be talking about uncertainty right now. 1. We're hearing from professional programs that students are struggling in their placements when asked to deal with problems that don't have right answers. They're struggling with uncertainty. 2. Those GenAI programs sure do seem to be getting all the 'right answer' problems right. People are going to be turning to them more and more. We think that we need more practice using our judgement. 3. We're not convinced that learning how to get answers 'right' is necessary good preparation for those situations where your values and your judgement are going to be necessary for making decisions. 4. Dealing with uncertainty in the classroom is more fun :). Why is the hashtag for this conference #shrugcon? There's a lot of uncertainty out there, the first step is accepting that you can't know everything.

Very interested in collectively considering what uncertainty in education means right now.

Student-led initiative, 'Story Time,' embodies our focus on student agency and two of the pillars of our strategic plan: going beyond ourselves and going beyond boundaries. Watch this video to see how our Upper School students proactively build relationships across the Upper and Lower Schools, and how they inspire and engage our younger students through reading and storytelling. https://lnkd.in/ddB_yhdK
