“Remember, it’s not about getting to the finish line first, but rather about crossing it with pride and the satisfaction of knowing you gave it your all.”

That said, we are at the end of the second to last week of Session 6. Learners have been geared up for their summer vacations and family trips. However, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. This week has been eventful with Story Arts, Civilization, Quest, and Core Skills. As well as, the social life in the studio has changed, and the Freedom Levels have advanced also.

We wanted to advance the studio and make them feel empowered when they do well on a session-by-session basis. Giving positive feedback daily in between sessions can have a more significant outcome on student achievement. This will cultivate a positive community in the Middle School studio.

In Quest, the studio has continued to advance their experience with A1 and used a new skill to write an email, essay and an E-book. This was an eye-opening experience for them because they learned a better way to utilize their creativity. The benefits of using A1 to complete writing assignments are life-changing.

For starters, A1 can quickly generate high-quality text that is grammatically correct and coherent, allowing students to focus on more critical aspects of their assignments, such as research and analysis. Additionally, A1 can help students improve their writing skills by providing feedback and suggestions for improvement, making it an excellent learning tool. Lastly, this Exhibition will be designed by the studio where learners will be in groups and showcase different things they did with Chat GBT and let their parents test it out.

In Civilization, we have been giving the studio numerous opportunities to do homework. The term “Homework” is used to describe make-up work that they didn’t get to finish or haven’t started at all. This will give learners the opportunity to go from Nesting to Flying and from Flying to Soaring. We want heroes to take accountability for their natural consequences, like being behind.

In addition, Story Arts is going well with their TedTalk and/or Book. They had the opportunity to practice their speeches and Book Pitches in the studio. Furthermore, presentation skills are essential for success in both academic and professional settings. A well-executed presentation can convey information effectively, engage the audience, and leave a lasting impression. On the other hand, a poorly executed presentation can lead to confusion, disinterest, and a lack of engagement, which we want to avoid altogether.

All in all, creating a classroom environment that is conducive to learning requires a combination of clarity, oversight, and fairness. Clarity involves setting clear expectations and providing students with the necessary information to succeed.  Oversight involves monitoring student progress and providing feedback and support as needed. This can include regular check-ins and one-on-one meetings with students to address any concerns or questions they may have.

Finally, fairness is critical for creating a classroom environment that is inclusive and supportive of all students. This involves treating all students with respect and providing equal opportunities for learning and success. It also means addressing any biases or prejudices that may arise and ensuring that all students are held to the same standards. We have come to the conclusion that clarity, oversight, and fairness are things our studio needs to cultivate more, and it will happen.
