Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum INCLUDING PLAY
more social time with peers (through grade 12)
mental health workers in schools/safety for kids and staff
community involvement and consistent response/support for students, families and educators

Adults - professional autonomy and TRUST to do our jobs
principals with no less than 10 years classroom experience
updated, realistic standards for how students learn
standards as guidelines, not drivers in programs

PLAY time! Why is recess not counted for time on learning? This year, the MS administrator took away 6th grade recess and suppressed student voice when kids tried to give their opinion or request help. AND Central Office put the blame on our local, saying that time for recess needed to be negotiated with the Union. Never needed that before this year....

Hi Donna:

Thanks for joining our conversation and adding your must-have list. I'd love to hear more about each of those points -- what would it entail to achieve those goals and, if you were in charge, how would you go about it?
