Anyone who thinks curriculum is more important than culture is fooling themselves. Environment has far reaching consequences that mostly hide in the background. Create a judgement free atmosphere that promotes positivity, ownership & most importantly fun! Athletes will thrive!

Ask any adult to name a specific worksheet from high school. They can't.
Ask them to name a project, a performance, a moment when a teacher said something that mattered, and they light up.
We remember experiences, and experiences shape our learning.

“This rubric is too restrictive.”
Student yesterday loudly and dramatically bemoaning the parameters of our final project.
Me: Okay. Do it your way. Throw the rubric away.
Student: Really? Ok, bet.
The outcome? Don’t know. Don’t really care.
Other than he now cared.
