PBL to the Core!
PBL to the Core! represents a way of being. It's a commitment to the noble purpose of engaging students in an educational experience that defies the traditional norms of schooling and prepares them for a competitive global society.
Each of us boarded the A. Maceo Smith New Tech bus. We took a ticket and pledged to be a solution-oriented, collaborative team, committed to maintaining a positive environment that fuels risk-taking and the pursuit of excellence in PBL. This commitment comes with a set of norms and beliefs team members must foster and exemplify to ensure the integrity of our founding principles are honored.
As we move through the remainder of the semester, we will cement the ritual and routines all team members are expected to engage in to ensure our students are served in a manner that is consistent with our mission and supports the realization of our achievement goals. This week's Tuesday morning meeting time will be moved to Friday, January 22nd at 8:15. During the meeting we discuss next steps.
Take a minute to reflection on your commitment to the work of this school. Are you PBL to the Core?
