Dear Students and Families,
We hope you are well and having a lovely start to the year! As part of our ongoing commitment to improving the student experience at CCHS, we are implementing a Student Shadow Day Program for faculty. Student Shadow Day aligns with our District Goal (District 1.3) to expand learning opportunities that are student-driven and increase student engagement and joy in their learning) as well as our School Goals from our School Improvement Plan:
- Teachers will incorporate more activities and forms of instruction (student-centered learning, critical thinking, discussion, and collaboration) into classes to engage all students and their various learning styles.
- Data from the Challenge Success student survey will demonstrate increased student engagement.
- At least 80% of faculty members will shadow a CCHS student for a full day by April 2024 and reflect upon their experience at a schoolwide faculty meeting in the spring.
Why shadowing:
Shadowing a student allows us to understand the needs of our students, observe their challenges and/or achievements, and empathize with the expectations we require of them.
What is shadowing:
Shadowing involves following a student through their entire school day to get a snapshot of their academic life, social-emotional catalysts, and expectations as a student in our school community.
When is this happening:
Student Shadow Days will occur between November 15, 2023, and April 1, 2024. Students were randomly chosen to represent our student body fully and to facilitate the Shadow Days. An earlier email was sent to inform those students and parents/guardians randomly selected to participate.
There is no additional work or any schedule disruption required of your student.
If your child was not randomly selected, please do not worry, there will be more opportunities for Student Shadow Days soon. Also, if you do not want your child to participate (parent/guardian), please email by November 15, 2023.
Email: denes@concordcarlisle.
Subject: Opt out of Student Shadow Day
Message: Please remove (Student Name) from your Student Shadow Day list.
Thank you,
Ms. Maines, Assistant Principal of Student Life
Dr. Green, Assistant Principal of Teaching and Learning
