Learning at ISM
We have talked previously about what it means to be a community of
learners, with our students, teachers and parents connuing on their
journey of skill and knowledge acquision in various domains.
Once again, the next two weeks present another two great
opportunies for this acquision. From today we have Ron Ritchhart
from Harvard School of Educaon spending six days with our ISM community, as we focus on ‘visible thinking’ and how we create a
culture of thinking in our classrooms and homes.
The Harvard School of Educaon defines Visible Thinking as, “… a
fl exible and systema c research‐based approach to integra ng the
development of students' thinking with content learning across
subject ma ers. An extensive and adaptable collec on of prac ces,
Visible Thinking has a double goal: on the one hand, to cul vate
students' thinking skills and disposi ons, and, on the other, to deepen
content learning. By thinking disposi ons, we mean curiosity, concern
for truth and understanding, a crea ve mindset, not just being skilled
but also alert to thinking and learning opportuni es and eager to take them.”
As well as spending this weekend with a group of ISM teachers, Ron
will be co‐planning and co‐teaching with various groups of teachers
next week, and then holding a parent coff ee session next Tuesday,
November 11th, starng at 7:45 am in the Lile Theater.
The following Tuesday, November 18th, we will be holding an
Elementary parent coff ee morning, where we will focus on
Mathemacs. In parcular, we will be looking at how we support your
children in gaining fluency with their basic math facts. The session will
show the current research out of Stanford University, leading to the
praccal applicaon of this in our classrooms and at home. The
session will be held at 7:45 am in the Lile Theater. We hope to see
you there.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Adam Campbe l Michael Rou r keElementary Principal Elementary Assistant Principal
