Search the Daily Bulletin

Feeling like you missed an important bulletin announcement? Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to find out that information in a quick and easy way? Well, you’re in luck! Using the search function, you can type in keywords for a quick reveal of all the previous posts that contained that word, beginning with those posts that have the word in the title. Likewise, if you want to make sure your post can be found easily, name it something memorable and relevant to the topic – like if you’re running a Pizza-making ASA, name it “Pizza Pie Time” or something with “pizza” in the title. Just use the magnifying glass in the upper right-hand corner of the screen:

See? Easy as pizza pie!

Student Voice Slides

Hello Colleagues,

Thanks for your time, attention, and input in yesterday’s sessions. Please find the paired down slides from the student voice portion (sans photos) in this location. Here are our working definitions of learning at NIS for your reference:

At NIS, learning is an on-going process that is personal, social, and leads to the development of new, deeper understandings that can be applied creatively in the world beyond the classroom.  
 

 With this in mind, we believe individuals learn best when they…
…are appropriately challenged and motivated. 
…have authentic voice and choice in what and how they learn. 
…are authentically engaged in the context of our community and host nation. 
…are encouraged to follow their curiosity and inquire into the world around them. 
…are empowered to take risks and learn from mistakes in a supportive, caring environment.
