The Buzz
A Brief Word from Chris Garten
Coffee House 2013 celebrates Upper arts, artists
Over the last few weeks at Doherty, I’ve been watching the progress of Unit II’s economics unit. In this simulation, students earn “dollars” by completing agreed upon classroom tasks, tracking their progress on individual spreadsheets. At the end of the unit, they can redeem their accumulated earnings, in goods or services, provided at one of three “businesses” that their classmates have designed and executed. Each group has to create a business plan: maintaining an inventory, scheduling service clients, leasing space (in their own classrooms!), and paying for marketing and advertising. The spreadsheet keeps students focused on exemplary classroom behaviors in the closing days of the year; the project requires students to apply their mathematical skills to a business project. Pretty cool! Chris Garten Head of School
