Panorama Surveys
Thrively
We now have Thrively and it is ready to go. Thrively helps us in developing the whole child. Toni is going to share more information about Thrively in the days or weeks ahead. Students in grades 3 - 8 will need two forty minute blocks of time to complete an interest survey that reveals each student's strengths, interests, and aspirations. Students will need the first forty minute block to take the test. The second forty minute block is to discuss their strengths with peers and the teacher. The most important first step to self-awareness is to know your own strengths! If done well, this will an opportunity for students to see strengths and build self-belief prior to PARCC testing.
Taking the time to purposely build students up and work from the strengths they are blessed with will help in preparing our students for college or career.
