Thank you to the ASD student and adult leaders, the ASD alumni, and all the parent work preparing our recent 100 Days In event. Quotes edited for brevity. “I challenge you ... to think about the enduring skills that you are uniquely positioned to gain during this pandemic. You are building resilience. You are learning selflessness. You are becoming comfortable with ambiguity. Resilience, selflessness, awareness of the importance of mental health ... are skills that will carry you for the rest of your life - through college, the workplace, and in your current and future.” Dr. Becky Berg “Start today.... Design your environment to make success easier. Make tiny, easy changes that deliver big results. In the words of that great American poet, Bob Dylan, ‘You don’t find yourself, you create yourself.’ Congratulations class of 2024, you are on your way.” Dr. Ron Lalonde #100daysofhighschool #100daysin #newdaysnewways #resilience #selflessness #classof2024 #asdtogether #asdalumni #asdubai

Repost @asd_sustainable_garden During this two week online learning period, our grade 7 Science students grew their own sourdough starters from scratch just by mixing flour and water. For two weeks, they have measured the height of the starter to track the growth of their “microbial zoo” over time and ended with a delicious loaf of bread to share with the whole family. This project challenged students to consider what influences the growth of a sourdough starter, and to differentiate between independent and dependent variables. In addition, they learned about the most common bacteria and yeasts that live in sourdough starters. The comprehensive Sourdough for Science packet can be found at the link below. http://studentsdiscover.org/lesson/sourdough-for-science/ Special thanks to our sourdough guru, Tina Richards, for her help and support on this project. #dubai #UAE #learningbydoing #schoolsindubai #edibleeducation #foodeducation #foodfreedeom #culinaryeducation #sourdough #cookingwithkids #sourdoughdubai #bakerslife #asdubai

SDG16 focuses on the relationships between and among people, ensuring that processes and structures are in place for human prosperity to exist through participation and collaboration. Several Self-Directed Projects focus on the issue of political sustainability, specifically focusing on democratic political structures and regional security issues. A big focus is the availability of ‘space’ to deliberate and share. MUN, or Model United Nations, is an educational simulation and academic activity in which students can learn about diplomacy, international relations, and the United Nations. MUN involves and teaches participants speaking, debating, and writing skills, in addition to critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership abilities. The HS Student Organization program is an ‘issues based’ program allowing students to identify, engage in, and provide solutions for issues of personal, community and/or global concern. #sdgs #asdtogether #asdchangemakers #selfdirectedlearning #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #sustainability #TeachSDGs #futureready #asdubai
