At the Glen Cove Board of Education special meeting of Nov. 6, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Larry Aronstein made a presentation to the board, which was then approved, on an educational program called the Tripod Project. The symbolic tripod represents three aspects of learning: content, pedagogy and relationships, acknowledging that teachers need to understand what they are teaching (content knowledge); they need multiple effective ways of communicating the material to students (pedagogy) and they need to relate to students (relationships) in ways that motivate and enable them. The Tripod Project aims to strengthen all three legs of the tripod in ways that raise achievement for all students, while narrowing achievement gaps between racial and ethnic groups. FULL STORY
