Eye of the Dragon
John Dewey Academy of Learning * October 9-13, 2017
BE POSITIVE
Project-based learning is tough. It can be messy, it can be unpredictable, and it can be challenging. But project-based learning is also amazing because it is real, it is engaging, and it teaches us that learning most often does not go as planned. This is why positivity is such an important trait for our students. Instead of getting frustrated or even giving up, we expect our students to dig in even further and challenge themselves to find success. Dewey Dragons do not give up; they keep trying until they find a solution.
These solutions are often a result of collaboration between student and advisor or even other students. Although a student is working on an individual project, their learning never needs to be completed all alone. Our community supports one another through each endeavor and provides the positive encouragement that one might need when things aren't going exactly as one would hope.
Thank you for choosing language and behaviors that contribute to our positive learning community at John Dewey. We couldn't do it without you.
Thanks for choosing to be a dragon! We appreciate you, and we believe in you.
With gratitude,
Jen + the JDAL staff

FIELD TRIPS and OUTINGS
Speaking of which, it is also very important that students honor the commitment they make when agreeing to attend a community outing. Often times, we have to arrange transportation with other schools and are offered limited spots. If someone commits to attend and then does not show up, they have taken a spot someone else would have wanted to fill.
