Mondays with Mike: Middle School Growth
As I mentioned last week, we are talking about GROWTH by hearing “testimonies” from your child’s faculty. Two weeks ago I sat down with your child’s teacher and fellow team members. I I asked them 4 questions:
- How did you see your students GROW this year?
- How did you see your students face and overcome CHALLENGES this past year?
- When you think of next year, what gives you the most joy when you think about what your students from this year are READY for at the next level?
- When you anticipate NEXT YEAR for your new students, what are you most looking forward to for them?
Four questions that led to amazing stories about YOUR kids! I hope you will be inspired!
