'Thank you' is not enough

I wish I could go back in time so that the Whitefish High School students and I would have an opportunity to meet Mr. Jim Campbell. My recent experiences lead me to believe that Mr. Campbell must have been a deeply generous man, committed to children and to his community.

Not your grandmother's math

There are 27 sheep grazing in field. Twenty of the sheep are white and seven are black. A farmer comes over the hill, bringing 18 more white sheep with him. How old is the farmer?

Speaking of powerful learning

If you share my curiosity about what our children are learning and experiencing in our Whitefish classrooms, you may interested in knowing what I saw last week, in just one day of visiting several classrooms.

A new method of professional development

Some of you may remember the TV show ER about a fictitious teaching hospital in Chicago. I was always particularly captivated by the depiction of medical rounds, when teams of interns, guided by their teacher, gathered around a patient’s bed, discussing and analyzing the most appropriate next treatments.

At last week’s regular Rotary Club luncheon, I was privileged to visit with the business people, clergy, local employers, etc. who comprise that group. I asked our local Rotarians what abilities and attitudes they wanted to see in our Whitefish graduates.
