What is Academic Rigor?

Is it assigning more homework: 30 math problems instead of 20, 25 sentence diagrams in place of 10, or 10 page paper instead of 5? I don’t believe that doing more homework is necessarily more rigorous. I believe it’s just more. Academic rigor is the educational experience that engages students in content to help themContinue reading “What is Academic Rigor?”

A Job Well Done

Do you ever wonder why you do something? I do. In fact, I ask our staff that question a lot. However, there has never been a question about the “Why” of WCS. One of the first things I did when I got to town was to apply to the Wayne Leadership Program. Fortunately, I wasContinue reading “A Job Well Done”

Why Christian education?

I hope you’ve been enjoying Easter Break. We have been enjoying slow mornings with coffee on the back porch. At least Kim and I have been. Zach has been working on his American Sign Language class. He’s done his final video and is working on a paper. When life slows down a little, I oftenContinue reading “Why Christian education?”

A Worship Experience

I experienced Easter Chapel at WCS for the first time. And, I struggled. My small part was to open in prayer and invite everyone to enter into a time of worship. After I was done, I went and sat in the bleachers between Mrs. Darden’s 2nd graders and Mrs. Carr’s 1stgraders. The hard, plastic bleachersContinue reading “A Worship Experience”
