Creating Learning Communities One of the most phenomenal exemplars of this communities' shared work is when our students embody it. This past week, it was shared that our students at the high school are sharing in lunches, friendships, and activities with students who experience disabilities. These teens shared that their friendships are organic and meaningful. Our students presume competence in each other. | Speaking of Dynamic Duo's! Our new School Counseling Team at RRMS, Sam Wilkerson and Allie Baumann recently cofacilitated a meeting WITH a student. At every point in the meeting, they asked the student their perspective, encouraged the student to share their voice, and the plan was, without a doubt, deeply developed with the student's voice. It was a beautiful example of presuming competence of a young learner. | Honoring Voice in the IEP As we navigate holding IEPs in new ways, virtually, during a global pandemic, teams have been intentional about how to ensure that student voice is at the forefront of their plans. Whether students are able to join their IEP meeting by zooming from school or home, be interviewed, or indicate what they need to work on, each and every team has been deliberate to listen and learn from our students. Our student's voices are honored and lifted in this process! |
