Today was the first meeting our or Committee for Culture and Character, a group I have been on since I started working at Brooklyn Collaborative four years ago. We started with some snacks and a brief initiative (educational game) and then got into the nitty-gritty of talking about how our grade teams were doing and reading about culture and character for the future of our school. It was a great first meeting and I can't wait to dig in!
We have a firm commitment at my school to use something called Restorative Practices in order to make our students feel more at home and engaged in our school life. We strongly believe that making them feel more of a sense of ownership will translate to them performing better in class, gaining more poise in the outside world, and becoming leaders in their own communities down the line.

AuthorI am a math teacher in the New York Department of Education. I infuse technology and real-world problems into my curriculum in order to prepare my students for the future. I would love for people across the country to recognize we teachers can't do it alone. If you don't believe me, come visit my classroom! Contact MeEmail UpdatesArchives
