Creating Pathwaysto Learning2018Annual Report
A Message From Our LeadersWe all know there is more to learning than just academic skills, but what other factorsare critical for success? At Lee Pesky Learning Center, we are tackling that question byresearching and implementing The Pesky Way, our approach to teaching that creates apathway to learning for every child.Overwhelming scientific evidence shows that if we want children to have successfulschool and life outcomes – we need to help them become self-regulated learners.Self-regulated learning is the goal of The Pesky WayWe’ve highlighted the triumphs experienced by our students, the teachers we’vetrained, and the schools that are using our self-regulated learning framework in thisyear’s annual report.The results and stories shared here exemplify what we can do because of the generoussupport of partners like you – together we are changing the lives of so many.Dr. EvelynJohnsonExecutive DirectorMichaelShaughnessy, Jr.Chair,Board of Directors
What is a Self-Regulated Learner?At Lee Pesky Learning Center, we develop self-regulated learners who are connected,self-aware, self-determined, strategic and resilient. Here’s how these tenets help putlearners on the pathway to success!“I knew I had some ‘soft spots’ in my reading and writing skillsthat might keep me from passing my CPA exam. Paula, myteacher at LPLC, taught me strategies I never knew existed,and I’m proud to say that I passed my exam and amstarting my new job at KPMG as we speak!STRATEGICCONNECTED“ LPLC helped us create a school environment thatmade our children know we cared, and empoweredour teachers to address the needs of the wholechild.”- Lisa Boyd, Principal,Desert Springs Elementary School, Nampa, IdahoSELF-AWARE“I chose to do a presentation on dyslexia for myscience fair project. I explained how dyslexia isa result of brain differences, and included apicture of myself, then talked about thesymptoms of dyslexia I experience, and thoseI don’t. I can now confidently advocate forthe supports I need to be successful.”- Jackson, Client”- Rahim, Client“ My reading skills are below grade level, but I got a copy ofThe 39 Clues and I really wanted to read it. I asked Debbie,my teacher at LPLC, if we could set a goal for me to readthis book. It’s hard, but because Debbie is helping mebecome a better reader, I’m already halfway through it!- Cameron, Client”SELF-DETERMINED“ Going to extra instruction wasn’t easy, andI remember feeling exhausted after myintervention time, but I also rememberfeeling more successful because of thesupports I got at Lee Pesky Learning Center,and that really helped me keep going. I amproud that I can achieve at high levels eventhough it takes a lot of extra work.- Julianne Masser, LPLC Alumnus”
