This week, middle school students are providing feedback to their teachers as part of our commitment to continuous growth and improvement. The feedback includes a variety of questions for students to rank their thoughts on including communication, organization, and the type of feedback students receive in class. Student voice and reflection are important parts of our learning community. Teachers will review the results, identify trends, and use the insights to further strengthen teaching and learning.
ACS Transitioning Family Workshop
On Wednesday, May 7th our school-wide counseling team hosted a transition workshop for families departing ACS at the end of the year. It was an excellent opportunity for families to come together and think intentionally about how they would wrap up their time in Amman and at ACS. Families thought through places they want to visit one more time, ways to say goodbye to important people, routines or structures needed in their new place to make it feel like home, and all the emotions and uncertainties that come with transition.
We look forward to continuing this tradition, and I want to thank our ACS counseling team for their leadership in this initiative and all the families who joined us.
