It’s often overlooked that MLK’s dream was divisive in his day. Resistance is not a signal of failure. It’s often a clue that you’re ahead of your time. Visions for change elicit opposition from defenders of the status quo. Rocking the boat is a precursor to progress.

Absolutely love our Learner led MyTime sessions. So fun to see students learning from each other!
At West we are growing student agency and one way we do this is by students leading MyTime sessions around their passions and interests. Some pics from MyTime sessions on sign language and Rubik’s cube #BeBoldBeWest
