3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #92, 12th April 2022

What do you want to read? What are you missing in your school life now? How can we make your timetable better? How would you like to share what you have learned?

Student voice and choice are fundamental to student engagement. Here are some tips from fellow educators for you to think about and try to implement as often as you can.

Two Thoughts of the Week

Every day more educators are showing that they value students by involving them in meaningful ways in school. These teachers and administrators say that it is not about ‘making students happy’ or allowing students to run the school. Their experience shows that when educators partner with students to improve learning, teaching and leadership in schools, school change is positive and effective. — Adam Fletcher

Mentors provide professional networks, outlets for frustration, college and career counseling, general life advice, and most importantly, an extra voice telling a student they are smart enough and capable enough to cross the stage at graduation and land their first paycheck from a career pathway job. — Gerald Chertavian
