Superintendent David Quattrone gave the Bronxville Board of Education an update of the district's global initiative, now in its third year. He praised the work of the Teacher Center and its Policy Board, comprised of representative teachers, administrators, and liaisons to the Bronxville School Foundation and the Board of Education. Building on two years of professional development, this year's activities focus on the collaborative examination of student work. Working in groups, teachers are evaluating student writing and projects as a way of gaining insight into two essential questions:
1) To what extent do our students think critically and creatively about the world around them and their place in it?
2) To what extent do our students show initiative and responsibility for their own learning?
The questions will set the stage for a series of curriculum conversations scheduled for Board meetings throughout the year. The presentation can be seen below.
