Each year before Christmas our blog’s done in rhyme
Some are just awful and others are fine
We like this tradition and hope you do too
As we share this year’s highlights – well, only a few
Some are just awful and others are fine
We like this tradition and hope you do too
As we share this year’s highlights – well, only a few
No matter the group, there is one common feature
They all seek to know how each student’s mind
Can best be engaged to help them do fine
How all students' challenges help shape what they need
And how strengths can be used to engage and succeed
As part of a project on School Transformation
Along with our colleagues we saw changes in action
And are working to help these ideas to gain traction
We’ve met many students and helped to explain
The strengths and the challenges that make up their brains
Both students and parents were heartened to hear
The steps they could take to improve the school year
We’ve visited schools to observe kids we’ve assessed
Since sometimes the classroom gives the view that’s the best
To see them in class with their teacher and peers
Can give a perspective beyond what we get here
Our work with grad students continues to grow
Future doctors and others find even they need to know
How to use learning strategies to help them to succeed
And master the skills their profession will need
Who’ve worked with and trusted us and liked what we did
The holidays loom and we’re off ‘til next year
And we wish to you the gifts of Peace and Good Cheer!
