Improving Education Today: The Deep Dive

Davey and Angela compare the success of the U.S. Women's 2024 gold-winning Olympic Gymnastics team to what schools need to do to attain comprehensive levels of school success. 
Using Dr. Howie Knoff's August 10, 2024 blog as a jumping off point, your Hosts emphasize that creating a "winning" school requires teamwork, coordination between staff, and a focus on student well-being. They additional note that successful schools maintain high-quality instruction at every grade level, seamless transitions between teachers and across grade levels, and explicit social-emotional instruction.
The comparison highlights the need for collective effort, the need to directly address weaknesses, and preparing students (and staff) to perform under pressure. Critically, this is exactly how Olympic athletes train for their success.
Ultimately, Davey and Angela encourage educators to reflect on their school's collaborative spirit, preparation, and consistent focus on student success.
