The final month of the year is here!
The arrival of December marks the end of 2017.
Educators prepare the last student lessons of the year as the winter break approaches.
December is the last chance that for students to end the year with a positive learning drive and to recharge the desire to continue to study for when they return next year.
Teachers and administrators take stock and reflect on all that has been accomplish in the classroom and at school while looking and planning ahead for what remains to achieve in the upcoming year.
We are at the most significant transition point in time of the academic school year where many changes and transformation can still take place, if we want to achieve the goals set at the beginning of the school year.
The journey that students, teachers, parents, administrators, and all school and education stakeholders have embarked upon has reached its unofficial midpoint.
As the countdown of the year approaches, it would be good to take time to reflect and focus on some key core principles that will aid in the development of education:
-Look back at what has been accomplished since the beginning of the year.
-What are the educational goals that were set, and how are they becoming a reality?
-Reflect on those memorable lessons and class projects. What made them become so?
-What relationships have we develop with classmates and staff to help us grow?
-How have we collaborated with others and can we do more to reach out and support them even further?
-What is our educational vision for when we return to school after winter break?
