A couple of examples to get us started!
Shout out to Chris Kuka at Summit High School. Chris has dedicated time researching and developing an Executive Function program at Summit. In tandem with his colleagues, Chris connects with freshmen about their brains and how they work. He uses a framework for each student to self-identify their EF strengths and weaknesses and then teaches the explicit EF strategies. Chris is paving the way to ensure all students have the tools they need to be successful in the classroom and beyond.
MVHS Freshman team (Joy Teson, Shauna Johnson and Trevor Tesow) met to collaborate on a hands-on urbanization activity for their students. The Urban Game raises the roof! A great way to engage all their students.
Pilot Butte 6th grade Middle School Math Teacher Patty Brun is committed to creating an inclusive classroom where all student voices are heard. She is invested in developing relationships where her students feel safe to share their mathematical thinking. It was exciting to be in her classroom and I’m pretty sure that wasn’t just the anticipation of the fire drill that day!
