I agree with pretty much everything said so far but would like to add that it may be a combination everything mentioned.
The teacher is part, the delivery is important, and multiple ways to engage a learner. I can also say that the student learning style has more to do with how to engage them than any “blanketed” recipe

The students must be involved. Lectures are deadly, especially to Middle School students. If you can make curriculum relevant to your students, that also really helps. Good luck with your students!

I always think it’s up to the teacher on how to interpret it and extend that reach to the students. Unless it is one of the districts where lesson plans are given to you where, we’ll, you’re stuck.

ownership, movement and creativity

The teacher! if you provide a reason for it and make it seem important the kids will feel it is relevant and not busy work

We have Springboard- its awesome

The teacher’s energy and knowledge of the subject, the children’s curiosity, hands on, problem based, and laughter

To reiterate what has already been mentioned here, I believe it’s all about rigor and relevancy. Students have to see how they are being developed to solve problems that have yet to be discovered! We should be opening their mind to multiple post-secondary and career possibilities and challenging them to think like actual people do in the real-world. This year, I’m motivating every curriculum with a performance task/project that asks students to do something in relation to career or college-readiness. Topics like studying the spread of disease, designing bridges, and analyzing interest rates can really motivate students to learn more about the world around them.

Is there a general expectation that a Partner has an MBA?

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.
