“The academic calendar was changed at the request from the Bermuda Union of Teachers to provide training for Standards-Based Grading at the primary and middle school levels. This training will supplement training that has already taken place to date. Additional training will take place during the rest of the school year lead by a team made up of existing school teachers.
“Additionally, on January 2nd, as part of the ongoing discussions between our senior and special school principals and the Ministry of Education, all senior and special school principals and school staff will participate in school-based professional.
“This training is separate from the Standards-Based Training to be held with all primary and middle school staff and will take place at the senior and specials schools respectively.

It is hoped that may kinks which were evident just before the Christmas holidays are to be worked through quite swiftly.

2019 NEW YEARS 10 RESOLUTIONS.
Hey ! every body its a new year , so wake up !
Before you try to educate the children you need the educate the parent.
Not every one wants to be a Lawyer ; Doctor or Candle Stick Maker .
If the parent fell down in to the pit of dispair the children will surely follow.
Are we raising a nation of robots.
I was a robot !
I worked for somebody else and made them wealthy.
A wealthy man with out friends is poor.
A poor man with out money is with out hope.
It is easier to do nothing, than to do something.
