What Grade Class @ Killeen Elementary did the KISD Superintendent visit? I'm interested from an aspect of KISD school model/structure - Middle School vs. Jr. HS. If the composition was of Grade 5 students, I saw the initial emergence of "maturity" from pubescence to adolescence. Perhaps a key progressive developmental stage that the KISD Middle School adopted model fails to capture? Adopting a Jr. HS model allows one year further maturity development in an elementary environment, rather being thrust into a Middle School environment (Grade 6 -8) where they're "lowest" on the totem pole - following that ordeal; in transition to HS, they're again "lowest" on the totem pole - another unnecessary, inherently disruptive, self-defeating and avoidable KISD structure/model outcome.

Dallas Independent School District leaders are collaborating to bring rigorous math instruction to ALL students! Executive Director, Dr. Barrios, and campus leaders from 3 DISD partner schools: Jill Stone, Highland Meadows, and Hotchkiss gathered for a day of professional development to support teachers and increase student outcomes utilizing Big Rock Educational Services, LLC’s research-based structure of Classroom Rigor Planning Meetings. It was inspiring to see these leaders work together in service of ALL students as they completed #lessoninternalization for #EurekaMath instruction!

I was deeply moved yesterday watching our students confidently lead their parent-teacher conferences, a practice we've championed at the American School of Santo Domingo School for the past 10 years. Instead of the traditional model where teachers report to parents, our students take ownership of their learning journey, present their work, reflect on their growth, and set meaningful future goals. The maturity and self-awareness demonstrated by our learners, from elementary through high school, continue to affirm why this approach is so transformative. What sets these conferences apart is how they shift the dynamic from passive reporting to active student engagement. When students analyze their progress and articulate their challenges and victories, they develop essential metacognitive skills that extend far beyond the classroom. Parents often tell me they leave these conferences not just proud of their children's academic achievements but also amazed by their capacity for self-reflection and personal accountability. This is what real ownership of learning looks like – and it's beautiful to witness. #StudentAgency #EducationalLeadership #StudentLedLearning #ParentEngagement #K12Education
