I don’t know how it happened, but the school year is nearly over. And what a wonderful year it has been. A couple of themes stand out for me. First, the level of parent participation in our school and the quality of that participation has been particularly deep, substantive and energizing. Second the faculty’s engagement with our major educational priorities – Differentiated Instruction and Diversity – has been deep, substantive and energizing. (Oops, I am repeating myself!).
