My name is Anthony Sudweeks and I am the Academic Director of Wallace Stegner.
As I walk through the schools, I frequently pull out my phone and record good teaching. These are not staged or unique moments.
This is what a typical Wallace Stegner class looks like every day:
1st Grade math class is engaged and learning!
Ms. Gomez
2nd Grade reading group staying focused and becoming better readers.
Ms. Bolen
Kindergarten Math
Ms. Guandique
3rd Graders analyze the work of their peers to practice their critical thinking skills and see exemplar student work.
Ms. Pereira
Every student is engaged in this 6th Grade math class.
Ms. Peterson
Wallace Stegner students greet their teachers at the door!
Ms. Lamoreaux clearly explains her expectations and designs procedures to waste a minimum amount of time throughout the day. This creates of sense of urgency that most classrooms lack.
Middle School History Discussion
Ms. Kelliher
Each year, WSA students compete in a competition called "The Amazing Shake" in which students are challenged to demonstrate their interpersonal skills. Local business leaders, and public servants help judge the competition while students learn real-world skills.
