After administering student surveys in the spring, the district dedicated three days over the
summer for deep reflection and planning.
Malick's film, like many of his past, is created to be a tone poem, a feature to be experienced more through the senses than the intellect, one that
begs for deeper reflection and requires its audience to bring into it a certain sense of their own consternation but all the banks in the world couldn't lend Knight of Cups an inherent sense of completion.This complaint is made more egregious by the fact that Knight of Cups feels like a self - congratulatory brag - a-thon.
«Most of our schools find that the decrease in stress for students and faculty, the increase in engagement and
time for deeper reflection, and the less frenetic pace are all worth the extra effort of modifying the school schedule.»
All of our institutes provide a useful mix of theory and practice, create opportunities
for deep reflection, foster a chance to share challenging and interesting ideas, and establish venues to learn together and forge useful and lasting professional networks.
In classrooms with more time for instruction (i.e., 45 - or 60 - minute periods), Day 5 also includes project - based learning activities and opportunities
for deeper reflection and discussion.
I am writing this post from our boat in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia — a welcome break from the usual flurry of activity and a time
for deeper reflection than is usually available.
