Parent Workshops

So far this year we have held six parent workshops on the Future of Learning at WAB (FLoW21).

The key elements of these conversations have been:

  • Sharing of the inspiration and thinking behind this work
    • More students being more successful more often
    • Educational technology
    • Developmental psychology & educational neuroscience
    • Changing global and local educational expectations
    • WAB's foundational goals and commitments
  • Clarifications
    • The Future of Learning at WAB is a community-wide effort. It is not a model developed by another school to be adopted by WAB. Our intentions have been to identify the needs and interests of our learners, study local and global research-based practices, and develop system solutions that best serve our community.
    • TheFuture of Learning at WAB has not yet been determined, though we are committed to becoming even better at that which we already do exceptionally well.
    • The Future of Learning at WAB will be created by all of us over then next few years.
  • Explanations
    • We explained what we mean by our Integrated Educational Ecosystem.
    • We engaged teachers, parents and students in conversations about the Targets – how were they developed, whether we agree with them, and how will they be achieved.
    • We described how the Committees, Working Groups, and Individual Actions are all part of WAB's efforts to create a Future of Learning at WAB which is more closely aligned to our Mission and Core Values.
