For the 2009 - 2010 school year, the Soundings Program will be undergoing some alterations in preparation for a return in 2010-2011.  Key elements of the Soundings program are continuing within the new 8C learning community under the direction of Mr. Springer and Mr. Mercurio. 
Welcome to SOUNDINGS:
Fostering Scholarship and a Love of Learning

An Integrative Learning Community for Eighth Graders: Where Every Student is Gifted

Radnor Middle School                 Room 310                              Mr. Springer
150 Louella Avenue                     610-386-6300 x 7310         Mrs. Canniff
Wayne, PA 19087

SOUNDINGS challenges eighth graders to explore student-selected themes that merge their adolescent concerns with global issues. It works something like this: following a process of asking, analyzing, and grouping lots of questions, the class works together to decide which questions they most want to study. These then become our themes for the year. For each theme selected, students learn to set goals and objectives, develop and initiate plans to achieve those aims, present their results, and assess their performance. As they experience this process with its emphasis on both quality performance and higher order thinking skills such as analysis, synthesis and assessment, students master essential skills and concepts from all academic disciplines and apply them to real world issues.

On this site you will find pages describing major student responsibilities and projects. You will also find announcements, schedules of due dates, our daily log questions, our weekly quotations, and major assignments. In addition, you can access many helpful resources and useful links. Students and parents are encouraged to check this page regularly.
