This will be quick because it’s late here in Atlanta, but I wanted to write because I’m very encouraged. I spent yesterday and today at Reese Road Elementary School in Columbus, Georgia. It’s one of the very best experiences I’ve had. The leadership team is just that — a team. It was very obvious to me. Everyone benefits!
Every teacher and staff member I interacted with was positive, upbeat, professional, and child-centered. After doing assemblies for their students, we spent almost three hours together this afternoon. The time flew by and laughter filled the room. I loved their joy! They were safe with each other as they enthusiastically embraced my approach to multiple intelligences.
Reese Road Elementary School is going to focus on developing their students into leaders, in part by teaching them about and through the multiple intelligences. I’m excited for them and their students. I can’t wait to see what happens. Everyone will benefit!
I’m renewed tonight. These kids were delightful - respectful, engaged, obedient, enthusiastic, … The teachers were marvelous - willing to work to discover new ideas, supportive of each other, … I know there are many schools like this one. I’m glad I was in one yesterday and today. I’m encouraged!
