“What if our students didn’t have to be in our classrooms? Would they still want to come?”

“Purposeful play is the highest level of learning. How can we wrap the learning around our students?”

“What is your teacher GPS? What 5 words do you want your students to say about you at the conclusion of the year? What is your destination?”

Reflections from Teachers

The Superintendent will provide leadership to ensure full alignment to New Learning Standards. (The Superintendent will present a report to the School Board by July 1, 2015, that will include: evidence of aligned curriculum maps, data on the progress of year one implementation efforts and the specific plans for any necessary shifts in regards to assessment and instruction for Ohio’s New Learning Standard.)

Implement a high impact research based strategy of clear learning targets and ongoing formative feedback for all students in Grandview Heights City Schools’ classrooms.
