Welcome!

Welcome to the blog of Zaq Roberts, Associate Head of School at The Berkeley School in Berkeley, CA. I blog about a wide variety of topics, from classroom moments I witness, to administrative events and conversations, to the educational blogs, videos, and books I am reading and watching, and how they are influencing my thinking. I hope this eclectic approach will give you insight into the many ways that I am engaging in advancing the school and strengthening our program, and I welcome your thoughts and comments!

This blog takes its name from a quotation by Archimedes that reads "Give me a lever long enough, and I can move the world." The TBS mission speaks directly to the need to engage a changing world, while many of the experiences in our program focus on the development of students' agency and authority. TBS is the lever by which we all - administration, faculty, students, and parents - can together move the world to be more humane, compassionate, and responsive. To borrow an important Montessori phrase, it is our way to remake the world.

Mission Moments #5

As always, it's a genuine web exclusive available just to you, dear reader - the fifth and final installment of the Mission Moments newsletter (for this year)! Enjoy reading about the incredible teaching and learning happening in the elementary division at TBS. For this year-end edition, I've mixed in items from throughout the year (which I wrote about when I saw them, and hung on to as extra copy) with observations from the last month.
