HSSD Graduate Profile: Collaborator

Throughout the year, the Board of Education monitors student performance in HSSD Graduate Profile seven characteristics.  At the December 9, 2019 Board meeting, we discussed the characteristic collaborator and progress being made to develop our students as helpful and active participants who share responsibility while working toward a common goal.   Students have many opportunities to collaborate and be part of teams in classrooms, in music, physical education, and art, in athletics, and in a variety of extra-curricular activities. Through these experiences, they grow in their abilities to collaborate with their peers, as well as adults.  Students learn to respect and encourage others, to adapt to changes, and to be reliable teammates. We talked with teachers from multiple grade levels successfully integrating technology into lessons and engaging students in becoming active and social learners, through co-use.   When co-using a device, students are working with others to figure out how to navigate the content learning within the software, which can lead to higher-order questioning, predicting, inquiry, and other cognitive benefits from this social construction of knowledge.  

Seeing our students intentionally developing HSSD Graduate Profile characteristics is exciting and rewarding because we know they are being prepared to thrive in our complex and rapidly changing world.  For more information about the Howard-Suamico School District, please visit our website at www.hssdschools.org, or for additional information regarding this article, contact school board member Jeff Eilers at jeffeile@hssdschools.org
