How is your school?

Let us know how you are back home in your school! It is Monday morning, and I am going to my new school to prepare this morning. I am taking my ideas from the institute with me. What is one idea you hope to use in the coming months? Aloha, Carole

Questionnaire from Hiroaki

Please respond to these questions. We can share our different perspectives!

1. School sytem and school size. Also, how do you organize school? such as K-12, 6-6-3, or other?

2. How do you develop grades for each of the students? How do you give them to parents?

3. Could you describe your testing system?

4. Why do the parents choose your school?
Due to the reputation of graduates who attend excellent universities?
Due to the special programs offered such as IB?
Other reasons?

This is the address Judy sent for the opening session of the Summer Lab School presentation in Luke Lecture Hall.

Howzit~

Thank you so much for your patience today. I hope most of you were able to access and post on the blog. If not, don't worry we still have time. I have already read through some of your posts and I'm excited to be involved in this program. This August I'm leaving Hawaii to participate in the JET program in Japan. All of the information and discussions on this blog will be a valuable resource for me and your colleagues.
