Stuart Grauer, Fearless Teaching

With this letter, I’d like to lay down a milestone marker where I am leaving off after 32 years as Grauer Head. I want you all who care about our school to have the strongest sense from whence we’ve come (an historical view of our development), to take good stock of where we are, and to inspire your vision for the future. I simply, very much want you to know what’s important to me, personally and strategically, and promise you will learn some. Thank you to any among you who find time to read or listen to this letter…

This state of the school address casts light on the developments at the school and in the education world over the past quarter. Dr. Grauer is asking readers to enjoy the role of school trustee for this one read, and to learn about our work on the school mission—but it is a significant ask: this thorough report is almost 20 minutes and it goes deep and wide. This is also recorded as a podcast so you can just click and listen to it in the car or anywhere. Dr. Grauer says, “You can use it for your sleep story or for your commute!” Enjoy this special, in-depth, eye opening report that will help shape your view of education today.

This podcast provides information to all our families, constituents, and followers on the launch and operations of our distance learning program, "Grauer eHome Schooling," while our larger community manages the spread of the Corona virus.
