ALT “Lots of kids come to school with invisible backpacks weighted with struggles. Stress, worry, fear, anxiety, trauma, unmet physical needs, loneliness, anger, sadness, and hopelessness can make them so heavy; too heavy for learning to happen. Notice and love them instead.” —Bethany Hill, Principal

We couldn't be more proud of @NewVistaHS rising senior & volunteer junior ski patroller Malachi Brooks.
He helped save the life of a skier who fell while attempting to ski Skywalker Couloir in the Indian Peaks Wilderness earlier this month. #BVSDproud

The T-A-G Peer Feedback scaffold provides small steps for those introducing feedback in their classrooms. Making T-A-G sentence starters visible will also help encourage student-to-student coaching.

Circles build capacity for students in our classroom to have just about any conversation, especially those important and emotional ones (i.e., restorative).

"One 'move' I made that enhanced my PBL teaching was developing the classroom project wall into an active teaching tool rather than a bulletin board."
Learn how a project wall can make thinking visible and support open-ended inquiry in your classroom. bit.ly/36tu6mH
