Charting New Paths: The Trailblazers Program Welcomes a New Educator - 6

Putnam Proud Podcast

Charting New Paths: The Trailblazers Program Welcomes a New Educator Trailblazer: a person who is the leader in a particular field, especially who does a particular thing before anyone else does. The term Trailblazer in and of itself creates an environment where students have the opportunity to become leaders in the classroom and the communities in which they live. The vision for the Trailblazer program is to create a culture that transitions students from a fixed to growth mindset and instilling that belief within themselves that “they can do hard things” with just a little grit and perseverance! The first 9 weeks of school have been spent developing this culture that will be the catalyst for our future project-based learning. We want our students to find their place IN the classroom while creating unique learning opportunities that are outside of the box! This is fostered by not lowering expectations but meeting our students right where they are.
This year, the program welcomes a new teacher, Mrs. Jessica Salmon, at the forefront, but their motto stays unchanged: “We have trails to blaze.” With the support and encouragement of Mrs. Salmon and Mrs. Frazzitta, this incredible group of Trailblazers is going to do just that! Thanks for listening.
