Disruption: We challenge ourselves to innovate—not for self-promotion, but in the humble pursuit of improving lives.

Collaboration: We work across department lines to foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, where everyone has a platform to exchange ideas and put them into practice.

I can deepen my understanding of student agency by using textual details to support discussion in a Socratic Seminar.

I can design an opportunity for students to build ownership and agency skills by referencing the Q2 Bingo Card and collaborating with my colleagues.

Spotlight on

Chalk Talk

Chalk Talk: A Deeper & Personalized Strategy

Procedure:

Set Up: Write a prompt on large sheets of paper and place on tables around the room.
Present the Topic: State the prompt to students and give them wait time to formulate their thoughts and ideas.
Circulate: Students respond in writing to the prompt on the paper. Students read and add to the responses of others on the paper.
Rotate: Student groups can rotate to the other tables to read and connect their responses.
Closing: Ask students to identify common reactions and themes and what surprised them.
Discuss how students thinking developed during this activity.

Purpose: To ensure all voices are heard, students consider ideas, questions, or problems by silently responding in writing to both the prompt and the thoughts of others.

Our Guiding Vision

In an ideal classroom at ASUP, students are curious, self-actualized, and own their learning. They co-construct learning strategies through applications that promote diversity, identity, dignity, and equality. Students are active participants by engaging in their work, collaborating with their peers, reflecting on their learning, monitoring their own progress, proactively setting goals, and showcasing their academic achievement through a variety of mediums. Students are working at their own pace and along their own pathway on authentic, critical thinking tasks in order to create solutions for real-world problems. Teachers are facilitators who design experiences by including student interest, plan rigorous lessons based on state standards, personalize learning to meet all student needs, encourage students to build relationships, and foster collaboration by providing a compassionate and caring environment. All student voices are elevated so that they can become future leaders.
