Episode 4: Bonnie, Richmond, and a Better Story for Learning

Every Square Centimetre

In episode 4, Bonnie Burton at Richmond Christian School invites us into RCS’s unique story of the purpose for learning. Join the ESC “Convocation” as we learn: the connection between Odie and having a growth mindset; sometimes punishment requires a good ice cream sandwich; faking a fight is one way to see who your real friends are; when it comes to city-building you’d rather not have to worry about liquefaction; how a city’s unique demographics shapes the story and culture of a school; that a Learning Commons vision can ignite student passion and creativity; that rhythms of quiet and prayer prepare us for the work we do; that Bonnie’s meeting with Haida artist Jordan Seward (and the drum skin she received from him) continue to impact her and others; that crafting a good staff memo matters.
