Day 9....Tuesday at Jubilee Hills Public Schools

This morning we attended the Secondary Morning Assembly, the theme was on protecting the environment.  There was an academic awards presentation and a traditional dance performance.  When the Principal asked which students would like to participate in a global exchange program, many students raised their hands and made a commitment to study hard and work towards their goals.  

Next, I observed a computer programming classroom session in which students were preparing for Board Exams.  The class was engaged and on task.  After class I asked several students about university options and the career areas they were most interested in, answers included economics, education, engineering, finance, law, marketing, and medical fields.

In the afternoon I led a professional development session on, “Differentiated Instruction and Project Based Learning.”  The focus of the presentation was on the design thinking model and using learning aids to assist students facing academic or behavioral challenges.  I had many samples to leave with teachers in all content areas to experiment with while instructing a small group or helping individual students.
