Last night I hiked to the best overlook in the San Juans, a short but steep off trail tramp that very few people have been to. The solidarity of this location is indescribable, I ran across some hunters on the way up (good thing I had my blaze orange vest on!), but they were quickly forgotten as I climbed higher and higher. I knew I was in for a treat as the clouds started changing color and magical warm light poured onto the Cimmarons.
I kept my load as light as possible, only a Fuji XT-1 with a 18-55 and a Sirui T-025X tripod, all packed into a Mindshift Trail, I could barely tell I was carrying gear! This is a 2 row pano of 25 images, single exposures! That's right, the Fuji has very good dynamic range, I pulled the shadows in Lightroom with no noticeable noise added, this camera is legit.

Vol. 11 took place on Sept 17, 2013 at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, BC.
It was just another day in Mallory Beatty’s kindergarten classroom. Well, yes and no. Yes, it was lessons as usual. But Beatty had six observers in her classroom. Their focus was principally on the students’ reaction to the lesson, whether they were engaged or not. And if not, they turned their attention to Beatty: What are you going to do about it?
Beatty’s school, Washington Elementary in the Mount Vernon Community School District, is in its second year of a pilot project called Social-Emotional Engagement - Knowledge and Skills, which is known for its acronym SEE-KS. SEE-KS’ principal focus is on student engagement, with the thinking going that if the students are engaged, they are learning.
In essence, SEE-KS focuses on classroom observations and then peer-to-peer feedback. The feedback is tightly scripted and based on scientific principles to ensure the maximum and most successful outcomes.
Jen Townsend, co-author of SEE-KS and an expert in social emotional learning differences, was in Mount Vernon to train staff.
Principal Kate Stanton said SEE-KS has created a mindshift among her team.
“Our teachers are understanding that the core opportunity for instruction is when students are highly engaged – with each other, the materials, the teacher,” she said. “In that moment, when students are highly engaged, they don’t want to be anywhere but right there in the classroom.”
