Archer Joins the Quiet Schools Network

Archer joined the Quiet Schools Network to tap into the power of quiet leadership. 
Archer joined the Quiet Schools Network (QuietRev.com)to tap into the power of quiet leadership, enhance instructional practices, and leverage the strengths of introverts and extroverts in the classroom. Personality psychologists agree that introversion/extroversion is the most important personality trait, and it shapes much of our experiences.

Groundbreaking research demonstrates that when introverts and extroverts are educated about their own personality styles, they are better equipped to emerge as self-confident, authentic leaders. By encouraging educators and students to understand the power of temperament, schools enhance engagement and creativity and foster the ability of members to communicate with presence and compassion.

Five faculty members are attending a two-day institute to receive comprehensive training on how to fully engage quiet students and develop more inclusive instructional practices to incorporate a wide range of personalities.

Throughout the school year, workshop participants will disseminate the research and share effective practices with the faculty in order to enhance teaching and learning at Archer.

Faculty participants: Tracy Poverstein, Andy Callender, Jed Donnel, Malia McClurg, Wendy Deming
