Vision: Academic Excellence and Success
From Mr. R's Desk
Recently, I came across this post... 7 Questions Principals Should Ask When Hiring Future-Ready Teachers by Katrina Schwartz. I have included the link to the post but I wanted to share the 7 questions. If you have time, please read the article.
- Question #1: How do you teach students to become problem designers?
- Question #2: How do you manage your own professional growth?
- Question #3: What are your expectations for student to self-assess their work and publish it for a wider audience?
- Question #4: What does your global network look like?
- Question #5: How do you give students an opportunity to contribute purposeful work to others?
- Question #6: How do you teach students to learn what you don’t know?
- Question #7: How do you teach students to manage their own learning?
Reflective questions of the week...
- Do you consider yourself a "future-ready" teacher?
- If you had to re-apply for the same position every year, would you get the job?
- What would your current boss say about you? Your current students?
- More importantly, do the answers to these questions even matter to you?
