One of the gems of teaching at Casco Bay High School is witnessing all seniors give their Final Word. Short prepared comments on why they are ready to graduate delivered behind a podium in front of a hundred people, this ritual exemplifies what it means to build a diverse and unified community in a public secondary school.

Because I happened to be a senior Advisor, I provided remarks to begin one day of this ritual that is spread across two weeks of English class for seniors. This past spring, Senior English teachers CC Robinson and Mallory Haar did the heavy lifting of coaching young writers preparing their Final Words in English classes.

Perhaps this episode, a live recording of my final words to students that I knew well, may sound a bit intense but I assure I wasn't yelling at them. It was my hope to connect in the few minutes I had at their podium.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18169526Tue, 04 Jun 2019 14:19:06 +0000WMPGI hope these comments have utility for any recent high school or college graduate or any of us up to the task of daring greatly.
