HT faculty and staff participated in an "Active Learning Ecosystem Workshop" as part of their Professional Development Day last week, where they discussed the importance of having physical spaces that support critical thinking, collaboration, and problem solving.
Teachers identified their top three priorities for creating the optimum conditions to foster lifelong learning:
-
Having spaces that promote creativity, collaboration, communication and critical thinking skills necessary for 21st Century learners
- Providing teachers and students flexibility, choice and control within their learning spaces
-
Cultivating an environment that gives educators the confidence to teach out of the box with modern, relevant, and relatable hands-on approaches to academics
|
The Upper School is currently undergoing a campus renewal, upgrading and re-envisioning its 20 year-old classrooms and facilities to better accommodate the 21st Century teaching that is taking place here each and every day, as we prepare our students for success in college, career and life. |

TIGERS TAKE MANHATTAN!
Students from HT's Fine Arts programs visited the Big Apple over the mini break and got to explore nearly everything NYC has to offer by way of the Arts including Broadway musicals, a concert in Carnegie Hall, tours of the Whitney and MOMA art museums, a tour of Harlem and the Apollo Theater, and even a meal at the world-famous Sylvia's restaurant. Our students even had the unique opportunity to participate in a workshop given by performers from the hit Broadway show Tina, the Tina Turner Musical! This once in a lifetime opportunity would not have been possible without the commitment to the extensive planning and logistics that come with a trip of this scope - during a pandemic no less! Many thanks to Mrs. Wacaster, Mr. Stephens, Mrs. Rodby, Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Barnette and our other organizers and chaperones.

The students learned collaboration, how to conduct scholarly research, and how to effectively present and defend an argument to a live audience.
