Ms. Moulthrop's Visit

On Tuesday, Ms. Moulthrop came down to CLA for a visit. It was a lot of fun touring her around the school and introducing her to the students of CLA. We spent a lot of time walking around the building, talking about the school itself, charter schools in general, and my experiences thus far on project. We were lucky enough to visit some classrooms and talk to the students about the material they were learning and the projects they were working on. It was nice to see the students so engaged in their learning and so inquisitive with respect to the new material. We also spent time talking with the dedicated teachers, learning more about the CMSD school district and how charter schools play into that equation. We also talked to teachers about their jobs at CLA and what drew them to working in education, specifically an urban charter school in Cleveland. It was interesting to hear their responses, as the teachers have various reasons for becoming educators and different career paths, but all feel lucky to have been a part of CLA's inaugural year.
