Twenty-six central office leaders from 20 SURN member school divisions engaged in a day long exploration of student engagement which included training on how to use the Indicators of Student Engagement Tool to collect formative feedback on what students are doing to learn in the classroom. The Visible Leaders Institute for Central Office (VLICO) consists of two one-day sessions designed to provide central office leaders with knowledge and skills to support their principals who are engaged in the SURN Principal Academy. A culminating activity was to create a poem modeled after the format of Margaret Brown Wise’s Important Book from one of four perspectives on student engagement. Can you match the perspective of administrator, student, teacher, and central office personnel to each poem?
