| Boston College Group at ASCD National Conference 2013 Principal Peter Cohen, Principal Anna Nolin, Principal Gina Flanagan, Asst. Principal Erik Arnold, Principal Henry Turner |
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of presenting at the national ASCD in Chicago with some of my colleagues from Boston College. This conference is attended by thousands of educators from across the country. It was an amazing opportunity to learn from some of the most notable voices in education today on a wide variety of relevant topics geared toward school improvement. These topics included instructional best practices, curriculum design priorities for the Common Core Standards, 21st century learning, data analysis, formative assessment development and more. Speakers also included Maya Angelou and Retired Supreme Court Justice, Sandra Day O'Connor.
This experience gave me many things to reflect on and hopefully bring back to ELHS. It also made me extremely proud of the work being done on a daily basis by the staff here at ELHS. Many of the buzz topics that were being shared at the conference were things that we have already started to discuss or test here at ELHS...the flipped classroom, common formative assessments, tiered instruction, technology practices and more.
This experience also reinforced that I will always be a lifelong learner particularly as it pertains to helping our students become more successful throughout their high school experience.
