A few weeks ago the school leadership team
met for two days to share best practices, highlight successes, and confront
struggles and challenges they face in building excellent schools for our
students. From this activity grew a discussion around our purpose for educating
children and our beliefs about what this means. The chart below is a map of
this discussion.
One of the things that emerged is that we
have an immense amount to learn both together and from each other. As an
Akanksha team, we have the benefit of being a network of schools, and as we
grow it is critical that we be our first resource - that we leverage our
strengths, ideas, and learnings to improve our schools and help each other.
This blog is meant to do just that. It is a
place for school leaders, curricular support staff, coaches and teachers to
exchange thoughts, questions, and ideas. As the title suggested, "Quiet at
the Back" is a platform for all of us to engage in the kinds of discussions
that are often neglected or lost in the million urgent tasks we must do every
day. I hope that teachers and staff across our schools will read these posts to
gain insights into schools across our network.
Let the posting begin!
