July 03, 2024 Video: All Learning Beyond the Four Walls
North Lakeland Elementary School’s outdoor education program engages students in a standards-based curriculum which increases students’ academic achievement, emotional and social growth, and physical fitness. This video describes the environmental education experiences of 4K through 8th grade students in the community’s natural environment, the benefits of the program, and how others can create their own outdoor education program.
Says the principal: “The outdoor education program is really an extension of the classroom…We use not only science standards, social studies standards, English language art standards, but also environmental education standards that we have in Wisconsin. Everything we do at outdoor education is academic in nature, but embraces what we have here in the natural resources and talks about sustainability, interaction, and outdoor skills.”

July 01, 2024 Video: Student Driven Learning in Marine Science and Beyond
Marine Science Magnet High School provides specialized marine science programming to students from over thirty Connecticut communities. This video describes how the school supports students to drive their own learning and become better stewards of their local environment.
According to the school principal: “When you’re here, you’re going to understand more about what marine sciences could mean. So yes, it is fish tanks and going out on project oceanology boats, but it’s also learning about what do we need to educate the community about? What are the policy or advocacy opportunities that are out there to shape the environment? And finally, within our business and industry field . . . how does marine science shape those fields?”

June 27, 2023 Video: Embracing New Ways to Teach Reading
In this video profile, educators at C.W. Shipley explain how they adapted their instruction during a year of piloting a new reading curriculum.
Implementing new curricula is just one example of Shipley’s long-established commitment to helping students succeed. Kindergarten teacher Heather Williams (herself a Shipley graduate) shared that the school passes on a love of learning, and is persistent about meeting students’ needs. “[Teachers and students aren’t] going to give up if something gets hard,” she reflected. “We work on it together and we push through. All my teachers did that for me.”
Reflecting on the National Blue Ribbon Schools award, second grade teacher Allison Howard remarked that “it’s nice for the students to be recognized for the successes that they’ve had throughout the years. And it gives the teachers validation that we are doing a good job, and it’s nice that the parents are able to recognize that the staff is working hard. We’re proud of ourselves, we’re proud of our students. And we hope we can do it again.”

June 13, 2023 Audio: Using Assessments for Student Goal Setting
In this audio profile, Principal Ryan Ambrose explains how teachers at Checotah Intermediate Elementary School use assessments to help set individual student goals and adjust their instruction to meet all students’ needs.
Principal Ambrose shares that getting to their current well-honed system took time and a willingness to keep adjusting the process – but the results have been worthwhile. “I believe the individualization of the goals have greatly improved our instruction”, he says. “I believe that whenever a teacher will get down to a student level, regardless of where that kid is and be able to meet them where they are and fill those foundational blocks that they may be missing, the growth is unbelievable.”
A sample goals sheet is shared here, showing how multiple teachers support and celebrate students as they reach their goals.
