During the District's most recent professional development day, Social Studies Teacher Ike Welsh facilitated a Harkness Model teaching lesson for the Middle School staff members. The Harkness Model involves about 12 people sitting around a table with a facilitator leading the discussion with a question. The key points to Harkness are open dialogue, eye contact, respectful disagreement, and active listening. It's not about being right or wrong, it's about encouraging students to speak up and learn from each other, versus a teacher speaking to them in the front of the classroom. Mr. Welsh has been using the Harkness Model in his classroom for years, and this was an opportunity for other teachers in the Middle School to get a glimpse of the Harkness Model to see if they could implement this teaching method in their own classrooms. It's great to see our educators learning from each other!

The Summit Board of Education was excited to honor and recognize two groups of staff members at the September Board of Education meeting! The first presentation was recognizing teachers and staff who have demonstrated the expertise, commitment, and professionalism necessary to be a successful staff member of Summit Public Schools, and completed the requirements for tenure in their position with the Summit Public Schools. The following presentation honored staff members who have reached the significant professional milestone of serving 25 years in the District. Principals presented beautiful speeches on behalf of the recipient, who were then presented with a gift from the Board of Education as a token of appreciation for their commitment to Summit Public Schools.
