Brewster's Strategic Coherence Plan in the Makerspace
Embedded Files
Brewster Central Schools follows a Strategic Coherence Plan that emphasizes a set of universal skills and traits. The Humanities makerspace was built convergently around the same skills and traits. Brewster's Profile of a Graduate even includes a picture of Sisyphus.
The following five sets of testimonials allow students to speak to this convergent connection. These testimonials also get at the strength of Brewster, what has always been to nurture innovation and creativity. We're all reading the same texts — Wagner's Creating Innovators, Dweck's Mindset, Johnston's Opening Minds — and moving students through the same paradigm shift.
