"There is intentionality behind all of our activities." 

How do students learn to learn?

For a few hundred students at GIPS, it starts with Pre-School.

Amber O'Hara, Howard Elementary, and Beki Piel, Starr Elementary, are two of the Pre-School Teachers at GIPS.  Both educators join the GIPS Cast to share about the fun taking place in their classrooms but, more importantly, how they empower 4 year old students to be ready for Kindergarten. 

What you’ll hear in the conversation is a window into the science of teaching that goes into helping a child learn how to learn.  From spelling their name, to cutting with scissors, to recognizing shapes, to breaking down syllables, and so much more.

Because in order to be successful [and have fun] in school, students need to know how to learn.
