Everett fourth-graders present learner-competency projects to the board
Summary
Students from Deb Berry's fourth-grade class at Everett School presented projects about the district's 'portrait of a learner' competencies, demonstrating growth in adaptability, communication and critical thinking.
Board members heard a student spotlight from Everett School fourth-graders and their teacher, Deb Berry. The students described weekly challenges tied to the district "portrait of a learner" competencies and presented projects they created to show growth in adaptability, confidence and critical thinking.
Deb Berry introduced the students and said the work was student-led: "...the students were actually teaching each other on the morning announcements and sharing what the competencies looked like." Students Sofia, Jackson and Paul each described how a named competency had improved their learning habits. One student said, "The competency I have grown in is adaptability because...I try new things even if it's different." The board president praised the students for public speaking and asked them to take a photo with the board.
What happens next: The district encouraged families to attend a family-share night for student projects and noted other forthcoming school events.
