We are building a community of common vision with individual participation working toward a joint big picture. In reviewing the accomplishments of last year, Fernandes compared new initiatives at MSSD and KDES to quilt squares. She told of the creative use of student portfolios, the positive response to the Read It Again and Again video, the establishment of Parents as Partners dialogue, the initiation of the Reggio Emilia approach to preschool learning, the creation of an American History Timeline, the hosting of a National Student Life conference, the accolades for the KDES mural at the Botanical Gardens, the success of the 1960s version of Romeo and Juliet and the Renaissance Festival, the expansion of the Shared Reading Project to six sites around the country, and the start of the Family Math project. I challenge all of you to help our students succeed through to graduation and involve our families in our work. Dr. Jankowski reinforced the community theme and invited each new teacher and staff member onto the stage.
Teachers here use content and good questions to allow students to piece together information.
As a fun community builder, the Office of Training and Professional Development, under the guidance of Director Janne Harrelson and Professional Development Specialist Betsy Meynardie, organized a raffle as part of the opening day activities. During the first two weeks of school, teachers and staff members are participating in community building. All Rights Reserved Gallaudet University 800 Florida Ave.
