Welcome to the beginning of our 2017-2018 school year here at The Capitol Encore Academy. WELCOME HOME to our new staff members! We are happy to have you at TCEA and look forward to working alongside you to create amazing learning opportunities for all of our students this year. To my returning staff...WELCOME BACK! This year is going to be awesome and I know that you will help me welcome our new staff members and aid in their transition this Fall.
This week, I am going to share a recent episode I heard on the TED Radio Hour. The title of the episode is Rethinking Education and is a topic close to the heart of me and my fellow visionaries at TCEA. We all recognize that the traditional way of teaching students is not working for ALL of our students. This episode gave me a lot to think about and I would like for you to listen to this so we can continue the conversation throughout this coming year. We need to think "outside of the box" to continue to live out the mission and vision of our school and give all our students a chance at a successful career.

I hope you enjoy the episode and I look froward to hearing your thoughts and ideas about how WE can "rethink" what we do at TCEA.
Have an amazing weekend and see you Monday morning! - Angela
