Customer feedback matters a lot at Acton Academy. So we continually question our Eagles about what matters to them.
This week Ms. Laura spent time in the Yurt asking what were the most important parts of AAA to preserve for the future. Here, unedited, are the Eagle’s responses:
- Keep discussion time
- Keep the Socratic method
- Keep the students in charge of writing the guidelines
- Guidelines – not rules
- Have more interviews with heroes – people sharing their stories to us
- Keep letting students work at their own pace
- Keep freedom alive
- Create a separate space for town meetings – like a council room
- Have proof that we can do things in the real world – we can contribute and think and make good decisions
- Attract more students – grow! Advertise with sweatshirts and lawn signs J
- Get more space
- Have more outside time
- Don’t spend too much money
- Keep the morning launches with great video clips
- And of course, one Eagle really wants sports teams and a cafeteria!
