Scanning

Scanning: 

 In our initial scanning process, where we asked a large sample of the students in the school the three questions that matter...“what are you learning, how is it going, where to next?” We have discovered that our students have a lot of strengths and also a few stretches. Some of their strengths are that they are great at following routines, they do well in structured environments, they are a very tight and caring community, they are all active, they are very kind, and they are compliant. Some of the stretches we have noticed are that they are often passive learners (going through the motions without always getting excited about the learning), they have difficulty persevering when things get hard, their collaboration skills aren’t always evident, they have difficulty thinking through problems and coming up with solutions on their own and have a general lack of resilience.
