Principal Reflection:
I am extremely proud of the fact that we are collectively accomplishing major positive changes through teacher led initiatives. Last year we identified struggling learners as a target focus area at MRHS and established our Struggling Learners Committee, with representation from all departments and administration. Our staff, led by the Struggling Learners Committee, was able to successfully implement a new homework policy, which has correlated with reduced D's & F's.
This year teacher leaders have spearheaded our new Jawsome Hour initiative that we hope to kick off in March (More Details at Today's Faculty Meeting) and our exciting Global Studies program. It is quite amazing what can be accomplished when we are all pushing in the same direction. I have referenced Jim Collins' "Flywheel" concept many times and believe in our 3rd year as a family, the giant wheel is starting to turn Jim Collins- Flywheel.
We have a new sub committee (Grading Committee), that is comprised of yet more teacher leaders volunteering to roll up their sleeves to address our grading practices. This article is a good starting point for us to reflect on the purpose of grading and how it happens at our school. I look forward to the committee's work in this area, and expect more success that will positively and directly impact our students.
