Tracking Innovative Learning

There is a time during the school year when the pace picks up and you inevitably find yourself asking, "where did the time go?" As we enter the last month and a half of 2016-17, I find myself not wanting the school year to end.

So much is happening in National School District. From dissecting squid and harvesting vegetables to shadow predictions and replications of cold fronts, learning is taking on a whole new look. The buzz in our classrooms is contagious, and teachers are releasing the reigns of learning- putting students in charge.

If you're not a teacher, you may be asking yourself what does it look and sound like when kids are excited about learning? Visit our classrooms, and you will see our teachers engaging and empowering students through hands-on, innovative activities. If you can't visit, take a virtual tour through Twitter. Here is a peek at a few learning spotlights captured by our schools during the month of April:

If you are not already following our Twitter hashtag, I invite you to follow our journey at #NSDnow. I'm sure you'll enjoy tracking our innovative learning as much as me!
