Last Weeks Advisory on Resilience
After reading a sampling of the exit slips and listening to teacher feedback, it is evident that we will have to do re-teach around resiliency. It is not unexpected as it is a complex topic (although many students grasped the concept) and we know that we will have to continually circle back to cultivate this essential quality. I’ll work with Nora, Annalisa, and Cherie to design the next advisory. A couple of you said that it would be more effective with additional scaffolding which, I agree with.
