Mr. Cookson gave me a wonderful opportunity to represent Davidson at the District Administrative Meeting today, and I sat along side a student from Darby, two students from Heritage and two students from Beacon. We spoke in front of 50 or more administrators and employees within the Hilliard City Schools district, and I was excited to say that I recognized many many and some that came up and hugged me. Mr. Tremayne led the meeting about growth mindset and encouraging that in the students. It was interesting to hear what the administrators had to say about it, and they also asked us questions from a student perspective. So, we were asked questions about our school's culture and the learning environment, so I talked about the CATS acronym and how that applied to the spectacular Davidson culture, specifically in the freshman focus program. I felt like I did a good job of answering the question, but I'm not sure if I was truly representing the growth mindset, frankly because I don't completely understand it. It is something I would like to learn more about it and how it can be applied to the classroom.
Mr. Hart, Mrs. Hart's husband, works in central office and was present for the meeting. He talked with me a little bit after it was over, but he told several people that I would like to teach behavior, and one principal from the preschool approached me about behavior education, as she shared that she began her education career by teaching behavior students. And, she discussed with me about how sometimes you are the student's best friend and otherwise you're their enemy and that's because of the choices the students make. But she says that teaching behavior is a true calling, and we love those students even when they have bad days! She claims that her success on the behavior unit because it taught her to look at things a little differently, and I think that will help me eventually accomplish all of my dreams!
