Principal's Pen
It has been a busy month of learning. Did you know that here in RSU2 everything we do connects to five tenets of learning? These are things we value and believe are important in education. The five tenets are the following:
- Classroom culture that encourages learner agency
- Clear targets in a good progression
- Gathering evidence to provide feedback to the target
- Learners engaged in learning that is in their zone of proximal development and interest
- Learning is applied and not simply tested.
What makes RSU2 different from other districts are these five tenets that are research-based, learner-centered, and focused on the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that learners need to be successful after they graduate.
You are always welcome to call, email or visit us to learn more about your child's progress, what's happening in class or how we are implementing the five tenets of learning.
Thank you for sharing your children with us!
