Celebrate Student Success, Promote Student ProgressBy Dennis J. HansonCandidate for Governing Board Member; Rohnerville School District |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
I have always advocated the celebration of student success. While schools do a great job of advertising superior student achievement, the vast majority of students find themselves in the middle or bottom of the pack, with little recognition. If it really is important for a student to be at grade level, or to learn something in order to move to the next level, then it seems important to recognize these important benchmarks in front of others. The lack of celebration and recognition in grades 5-8 marks the observed decrease in school excitement by students in these grades. This is a lack of excitement that carries into high school. In order to raise student's buy-in with school, it is important to share the value of their learning with the student in a public setting. |
