Future Ready Skill of the Month starts in September

What does this mean?

Celebrating and promoting a different skill each month means we can give each skill special attention throughout the entire Tahoma community. The main goal of this initiative is increased awareness and understanding. Making spontaneous and authentic connections to the skill of the month in your building and classroom is encouraged.

What does this not mean?

This is not a directive to teach the skills in a particular order. While we certainly encourage you to celebrate and make connections to the skill-of-the-month when and if it makes sense, there is no expectation for you to modify your program to address that month’s skill arbitrarily. That said, authentic learning, practice, and reflection of the Future Ready Skills is important, and over the next couple of years we will continue to work at finding the right places to do so intentionally. We’re just not going to force things where they don’t make sense.

​

What can you expect?

• Though I am sure everyone can think of great reasons why certain skills should be featured during particular months, we’re just going to go in alphabetical order.
• District/community level promotion of each month’s FRS through a variety of mediums
• Promotional materials to post in your school featuring that month’s FRS
• New posters that feature the all the skills
• Information you can share with parents through newsletters or your website
• A variety of optional ideas for classroom and building activities (https://goo.gl/XytKxv) that promote and celebrate each FRS. Soon to be a veritable cornucopia of ideas, I’m sure!
