Hi Wendy,
Thanks for your thoughts! I definitely hear what you’re saying in this comment. Coincidentally, math is an area where handwriting continues to impact scores. In the IB’s Middle Years Programme, the Math […]

Thanks, Tara! I would be interested in some recommended reading on Gen Xers vs. Gen Yers (if you know of any). As a Gen Xer, I definitely see myself on the innovation and creativity side of the spectrum. This […]

Great ideas, Tara! The flipped faculty meeting is a fantastic idea, but your topics are even more intriguing (it’s the Curriculum Coordinator in me). I would love to talk to you more about measuring “soft” skills. […]
