I had an incredible live session with Principal Curtis F. L. on Hiring Staff Who Build Culture, Not Just Teach. We dug deep into what it takes to bring in people who do more than deliver content—they shape the heart of your school! Principal Lawrence dropped some gems 💎 about what to look for in a candidate, and it’s more than just credentials: 📝 Check their extracurriculars: What do they do outside of teaching? Look for activities that show they’re community-focused. Whether it's coaching, running a chess club, or being involved in sports, these are indicators they’ll bring value beyond the classroom walls. 👂 Listen to their beliefs about students: The most important part of any interview? Hearing what they truly believe about what students can achieve. Are they growth-oriented? Do they have high expectations? This speaks volumes about how they’ll impact your school culture. It’s not just about filling a position—it’s about building a community.

Imagine you could take one teacher and split them into two, with one focused on delivering the curriculum and the other focused on differentiation and student development... Our unique co-teaching model in the elementary grades does just that. The collaboration between Subject Expert Teachers (SETs) and Learning Expert Teachers (LETs) create a classroom experience that enhances outcomes for students and teachers. While the SETs deliver subject specific, content-rich lessons, the LET is able to focus on differentiation, interventions, and connecting all of the subjects together to ensure every student is learning to the best of their ability. Learn more about the benefits of this model here: https://lnkd.in/gZwfAvWG Interested in being a founding LET at our new campus in Bothell, WA?

At WYLEES, we emphasize project-based learning to encourage civic engagement. What is project-based learning? It's when students create a project to solve a real-world problem or answer a complex question. They demonstrate their knowledge and skills by creating a public product or presentation for a real audience. As a result, students develop deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills.

By 2030 programmers could be like plumbers and carpenters and probably paid the same. The million dollar question will be, why get in debt to become a plumber, or a programmer, thus deleting many universities as they go bankrupt. "Postings on jobs website Indeed for software-development roles, a proxy for computer science, have dropped 30% from prepandemic levels. At the same time, companies have a burgeoning supply of new grads to choose from. The number of students in the U.S. majoring in computer and information science has jumped 40% in five years, to more than 600,000 as of 2023. The number of bachelor’s degrees conferred in those majors topped 100,000 in 2021, according to the Department of Education, a 140% rise from 10 years earlier." #university #programming #learntocode #education
