August/September 2017

Welcome to 2017-18!

We hope you had a great first week with our Salisbury learners! It is wonderful to have so much energy and excitement back in our buildings!


Because of you, our faculty and staff, our learners will be inspired to think, learn, and grow together this year.

Professional learning resources in one place!

This summer, we created a digital hub to collate our professional learning resources. You can view resources related to science, math, writing workshop, standards-based grading, and more! There is also a section for Instructional Assistants. If you have an idea for a topic for us to add, please let us know! (Thanks to Ross for designing this hub!)

Check it out here.

Book Corner!

Book Whisperer

This summer, Ross led a book study with the Book Whisperer. Teachers and instructional assistants delved into the text and uncovered the significance of immersing students in authentic text. The staff who participated in the book study said this heart-felt text is a must-read.


Tweet a photo of reading in action (#YourSalisbury) and you may receive a copy of the book in your mailbox!

Mathematical Mindsets

Our middle school teachers are reading Mathematical Mindsets to explore inquiry-based mathematics. This book provides practical strategies and ideas to help teachers and parents develop a love of math in all learners!


If you would like to read along, send a tweet to #YourSalisbury and we will randomly distribute 5 books!

Shift Your Paradigm - Learning Beliefs in Action
Randy and Lynn started a new podcast - ShiftYourParadigm.org to investigate learner-centered learning and learner-centered leadership. In the first episode, we answer the question - What is learner-centered learning?

Connections to the Learning Beliefs - Learner Agency

Question to consider: How might learners share their voices and engage in choice in your learning environment?
