Kyle Wagner joined the faculty community to address a key part of our school's strategic plan: how we can best, as a whole school, develop children's capacities to solve real-world problems and work productively with others, as we shift from over-emphasis on achievement, to a balanced emphasis on the growth of the whole child.

It's the first day of the 22-23 school year, and we are overjoyed to have our students back on campus! We're thinking about what this fresh start means for our community, and feeling the joy of being back together again.

Last Thursday, E-chieh Lin, our Director of Inclusion and Wellness, led our faculty and support staff in a Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) workshop during the most recent professional development days, focusing on how the community can lean into this critical work over the coming year, and how to understand both our personal and institutional motivations for learning the specific skills of JEDI work. 

It was an exciting day on the TAS campus earlier this week as both new and familiar faces mingled on campus for a unique, hybrid professional development experience. Head of School Dr. Grace Cheng Dodge welcomed new and returning employees with her opening address, held in the school's auditorium as well as on Zoom. 

The back-to-school time is upon us, including important events designed for our newest Tigers, including new TAS employees and families.
