In the evolving landscape of education, how we assess students is crucial to fostering critical thinkers and lifelong learners. At PKS, we've embraced a feedback-rich approach to support deep, meaningful growth in our students vs traditional grading. Why? Grades can limit potential, discourage risk-taking, and create a fixed mindset. By focusing on personalized, actionable feedback, we challenge students to engage rigorously and independently in their learning journeys. Read our latest blog to learn more about the impact of feedback-centered assessment on student success and well-being at PKS. #EducationLeadership #StudentGrowth #FeedbackCulture #LearningJourney #IndependentThinkers #BeyondGrades #GlobalCompetence #EmpoweringStudents #GrowthMindset https://lnkd.in/gxVxUaDp

🌏✨ We were thrilled to welcome a delegation of teachers from Seoul National University of Education to the PKS campus today! They came to learn more about our unique model of education, and we were honored to share our approach to developing bilingual, biliterate, bicultural, and globally competent thinkers and doers. Hosting international visitors, such as our Korean delegates today, fosters a community of learning that transcends borders. We believe in the power of cultural exchange and embracing the world through partnerships and global connections. Together, we're shaping the next generation of truly global citizens by fostering a mindset that prepares students for an interconnected world. Here's to building bridges and advancing education! 🌍 #CulturalCompetency #ThoughtLeadership #Education #GlobalCitizens

"Our students will become the ambassadors of the future--not just in government, but at every level of society--in bridging the cultural and political gaps that impede progress on so many key issues, from climate change and artificial intelligence, to human rights, peace, prosperity and good governance." - Christopher Livaccari, Head of School, Presidio Knolls School At Asia Society's 17th Annual National Chinese Language Conference, Chris shared innovative strategies to help schools build global exchange programs that nurture students' cultural competencies. These essential skills empower students to view the world from diverse perspectives and take meaningful action on local and global issues. Discover why Chris believes cultural competency is crucial for developing critical skills in arts, sciences, and social justice, especially in a world facing complex global challenges and societal divides.
