Fixing the POI: Follow Up
While I was not able to stay for the entire meeting on the Programme of
Inquiry but the turn out and production at the meeting was truly an amazing
display of the commitment our teachers have to making Robison the best possible
PYP. With guidance of Ms. Jeffrey and Ms. Lee and the
participation of the teachers your were able to finalize the end-of-year draft.
In fact, it is the effort of classroom teachers that makes the PYP happen
and also ensures that the IB philosophy will persist and prevail into the
future. As Ms. McDonald has told me, there is no way to go back to any
previous pedegogy because students learn best when they get the right mix of
skill instruction and independence. The same can be said of the faculty.
The fantastic Exhibition, Fiesta de las Flores and POI review session
demonstrate that IB coordination at Robison is grass-roots and comes from the
classroom teachers. At the risk of sounding trite and mushy, I am the proudest
principal in TUSD. I wish everyone a restful summer, where ever you may be
spending it.
More Grass Roots: Water Day
Teachers have also organized a Water Day for students on Tuesday. The
preparations are already underway and everyone should get more details today.
The Roadrunners Shine
The
hardwork and dedication of our Roadrunner softball team paid off on Saturday
when we took 3rd place at city softball tournament. We lost a hard
fought game to a very good Summit View team (and eventual champion) 9-2 from
Sunnyside then defeated our long time rival Davis in the consolation game 5-2 to
take the 3rd place trophy.
Thank
you Mr. Canez and the Roadrunners for your teamwork during the season.
