Will our teachers have an opportunity to visit multiage schools and ask teachers questions?
We have already taken some of our staff to the Des Moines Downtown School to see their multi-age classroom system. We will plan to take any other staff, that desire to do so, to schools that utilize a multi-age classroom structure for a visit so they can see it in action and ask questions. We also plan to utilize Skype and other technologies to connect our staff with other teachers who are a part of multi-age classroom systems.
More of our staff visited the Des Moines Downtown School on Tuesday. School Board president Kristin Fitzgerald also joined us on this visit. Everyone was impressed and excited about the possibilities this model could bring to our district. We have another visited scheduled to Howard/Winn in two weeks. After that we will put together a planning committee.
