So many similarities to us. Very affirming. Some things we could look at adapting too.
Would like to see how we could adapt the ambassador idea into our student leadership plan.

On the Edge of Chaos
On the Edge of Chaos Article
“Creativity is not an option, it’s an absolute necessity." Ken Robinson
“The truly creative changes and the big shifts occur right at the edge of chaos,” Bilder said.
“It was that freedom to explore that led them to be increasingly engaged and allowed them to forge connections that allowed them to be more creative.”
“In the school environment, creativity can be considered pathological behavior as opposed to the compliant traits of being reliable, sincere, good-natured, responsible, tolerant, and peaceable — the qualities associated with the lowest levels of creativity,”
“You have to cultivate these behaviors by introducing them to children and recognizing that the more you do it, the better you are at doing it,” Limb said.
Some teachers are moving in that direction, loosening the rules, giving students choice, celebrating ideas and behaviors that challenge the status quo, but without a drastic reimagining of the structures within which educators work, true creativity could be hard to find in school.

The Meaning of Pedagogy-Steve Wheeler
Socrates once said: 'Wisdom begins in wonder.'
Good pedagogy is about guiding students to learning. It's about posing challenges, asking the right questions, and presenting relevant problems for learners to explore, answer and solve. True pedagogy is where educators transport their students to a place where they will be amazed by the wonders of the world they live within.
