This week I
received a list of all of our students’ mid-quarter progress reports which showed
me their grades, their GLO marks, as well as their teacher comments. I was particularly interested in reviewing
the names of students who received three or more “U” marks for GLO #1,
Self-Directed Learner or GLO #2, Community Contributor, because Ms. Asahi and I
are following up with each of those students and their parents. These are students that we want to catch now
before the official quarter 1 grade are posted because if they don’t turn it
around, these students will go on behavior probation and have to clear grades
and GLOs if they want to participate in any extra-curricular activities in
quarter 2.
However, I was struck by the number
of students earning A and B grades who were also receiving “U” grades, mostly in
GLO #2 Community Contributor. This
concerns me…. In conversations with these students, I’m reminding them that
their job is to be a student and it’s their responsibility to make sure they’re
doing all of their own work, turning it in on time, studying for tests and quizzes…..
but at the same time being respectful of others around them – students and
teachers. School is much more than a
grade on a report card. By holding our
students accountable for their GLO behavior, we’re teaching them to be
self-reliant, responsible global citizens who are respectful, and cooperate and
contribute to the greater good of our community. These are life skills that they will take with
them and use daily, long after they leave us at Waimea HS. This is truly an example of “he wa’a, he
moku; he moku, he wa’a” which is the philosophy we want all of our students to
embrace.
