Nobel Creativity Opportunities Tri 2

The Gifted and Talented department will take Nobel students to the History Theater on Thursday, February 22nd to see “A Crack in the Sky”.  This will be its world premiere and it features two local playwrights, Harrison David Rivers and Ahmed Ismail Yusuf. The play is described as, “ From Somalia to the U.S.A. 1984.  A young shepherd boy stands in front of his mother to tell her of the decision he has made in the night. He has had enough of the nomadic life, of herding goats and sheep, and is leaving to seek out a better life. With that, he sets off on an adventure that takes him on the road less traveled from Somalia to Minnesota. It’s the epic tale of Ahmed Ismail Yusuf who, inspired by Maya Angelou, discovers the power of the written word.”   For more info go to:  http://www.historytheatre.com/2017-2018/crack-in-the-sky We hope to use this experience to give students exposure to local authors.  We plan to follow up on this field trip by me...

Can Grade-Skipping Close the STEM Gender Gap?

This article made me think about our girls in DA High School.  Before we did DAHS many people expressed doubts that our kids could do college level work as 9th and 10th graders but in fact many of them are thriving in this enriching environment. Can Grade-Skipping Close the STEM Gender Gap? If girls were allowed to accelerate through school, then perhaps their peak career- and family-building years would not overlap. Alexander F. Yuan / AP TOM CLYNES     APR 18, 2017     EDUCATION Share   Tweet   … TEXT SIZE   Like  ​The Atlantic ? Subscribe to  ​ The Atlantic Daily​ , our free weekday email newsletter. Jane Charlton never intended to skip high school. “I was planning on just skipping ninth grade,” says the renowned astrophysicist, who spent her summers taking calculus classes at Carnegie Mellon University. “But when the school year was about to start, the teachers went on strike and ...
