What Can Our Students Accomplish?
@HistoryinPics on Twitter posts various powerful and entertaining historical photographs. An image stands out this week.
This American landmark was designed and constructed with tools considered primitive in today's society. Howard-Winneshiek's students are designing and constructing detailed, structurally correct items with collaborative skills, technology infusion, and problem solving not thought of in 1933.
Our task as educators is to continue to push the envelope, not apologize for taking risks, and demand high expectations. Yes, the path to high expectations is not the same for every student. But remember...if there were one way to construct a bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge would not be in existence.
...And the Curtain Closes for the Year
Howard-Winneshiek staff
truly works in an environment that wants change, focuses on students, and
aspires to achieve greatness. Staff
still has work ahead. We need to show
students how to think and not settle. We
need to continue to work with students to go beyond traditional thinking. The
mindset is being set that students have different options to guide their
learning. This must be developed and
nurtured – a delicate undertaking.
Howard-Winneshiek staff is highly dedicated and professional. Any issue or hurdle set before the staff is addressed and accomplished. Students and staff have worked together to make this school great. Lets continue ahead to provide a 21st Century education for generations to come.
ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!
