Everyone is a learner at UCSD!
A group of 8 educators participated in a book talk to gain a deeper understanding around Dr. John Hattie's research identifying/explaining teaching practices that have the greatest impact on student success.
"10 Mindframes for Visible Learning" (2018) by John Hattie and Klaus Zierer impacted our understanding, beliefs and actions, as indicated by the collaborative word cloud created as our final reflection.
We are learners!
UCSD has some of the best teachers in the state (in my humble opinion). It would be great to have one or more recognized throughout the state.
If you would like to nominate a teacher for the Alaska Teacher of the Year 2025, complete this form no later than Jan. 2024.
