Earhart Crew Blog

Firstly I would like to introduce / reintroduce myself.

I have the pleasure of touching base with Crew Earhart during Thursday and Friday’s crew sessions. This is to support these wonderful young people through the challenges of the coming months. 

I have already witnessed incredible focus, grit and ambition. In my first few weeks, working with Crew on their Student Led Conferences. We have focused mostly at grades. Framing the conversations around the following :-

“Where are we now, Where do we want to go and What do we need to get there.”

I personally feel that this has exposed excellent integrity, ownership and courage in our students. We have enjoyed honest conversations about their current grades. They have explained how they will Lead their own learning. This is in order to work towards what they need to get done in order to move through another year of disruption and uncertainty.

I would like to pick up on the uncertainty fragment of the previous sentence, The students despite the incredible challenge of lockdown, have a huge sense of urgency. They are aware what they need to do to gain the qualifications required to move onto pastures beyond XP. This is an exciting period, full of hopes and dreams.

We are still uncertain of what this process may look like,  but i have every confidence our young people are well prepared to rise to all the challenges they face throughout this year, and will be able to thrive and possibly even flourish in the future due to these experiences.
