2 | An Illustrated Guide To Our Maddening Relationship With Tech Ah, modern life. The way we live now is intrinsically tied to increasingly pervasive technology, our relationship to which could be permanently set to “it’s complicated.” French graphic designer Jean Jullien presented his own playful take on our ever-evolving connection to gadgets, gizmos, and yes, human interaction for Allo? , currently on display at London’s Kemistry Gallery . “A show is a great moment to capture the attention of people and create a proper dialogue, to communicate ideas,” Jullien tells Co.Design of his decision to present work surrounding a particular theme, as opposed to displaying a more general survey (”My website is there for that.”). “I love looking around me, observing behaviors and social patterns. Ultimately, it’s the ubiquity of these shared experiences that makes Jullien’s art so relatable. It’s nice, then, that Jullien has a sense of humor about the whole thing.

Text Wall - Login Screenbird Reading Process Guest Post - Student Accountability Program in Google Spreadsheets Several years ago, we decided to design a more comprehensive way of evaluating our students' success in our middle school. We acknowledged that grades are just one measure of how students can experience success in school. In addition, we needed a more holistic way to determine if a student should be retained or promoted to the next grade. Each category is weighted with a different point value. The SAP has changed our school. This has been a grassroots process by our staff that has evolved each year with feedback from students, parents, teachers, and administrators.

Formative Assessment, Practical Skills, and PBL: What’s Next On the Horizon: Pat Bassett’s NAIS Presentation Sadly I missed NAIS President Pat Bassett’s Annual address at the NAIS Annual Conference, because I was presenting in the same time slot, but it was great to get to see it posted on the NAIS website, and I have taken the liberty of selecting out a few slides to share here. After a review of the state of the industry, Pat argued that independent schools (and all schools, I’d add) must strive to be informed about and attentive to developments happening broadly in our “industry,” to what is happening at the cutting edge, and be prepared to incorporate the best practices and respond accordingly to remain relevant and competitive. In doing so, he called particular attention (as you can see in the slides atop) to three themes that are essential for any school to explore and examine in the quest to be relevant, compelling, and successful: Formative Assessment,Embedding Practical Skills for Greater Problem-Solving Skills,and the Value of PBL. 1. 2. 3.
