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 Newsletter - Volume 2, Issue 1


I feel very lucky to get to come and go freely through the classrooms at The Berkeley School (one of the perks of my job!), and I like to share what I see when I can. That's why I write the Mission Moments newsletter; it's a regular chance for me to point out moments when the teaching and learning in our classrooms embodies our mission, learning outcomes, and values. Here's the first edition of the year; if you want to see issues from last year, just search the blog using the tag "mission".
