In this stellar episode of Chat and Chill with Super. Hill, we sit down with Rebecca Zenczak, Windsor Public Schools' dynamic Instructional Technology Specialist, to discuss an out-of-this-world initiative: the first portable, immersive planetarium in a Connecticut public school designed for instructional use. Supported by Dr. Hady and the Instructional Services team, this state-of-the-art tool is transforming learning across the district.
The conversation flows like butter as Dr. Hill and Rebecca explore how Windsor Public Schools is setting the bar high in innovation and delivering excellent Tier 1 instruction for every student. More than just a tool for bringing NGSS Science standards to life, educators are using the planetarium to enhance history lessons and beyond. The mobile planetarium brings our Instructional Core Wheel to life by fostering inquiry-based learning environments that inspire peer-to-peer collaboration, critical thinking, and reflection.
Fully inclusive and curriculum-integrated, this experience highlights Windsor's unwavering commitment to preparing students for success in an ever-changing world. Tune in to discover how Windsor Public Schools is leading the way in 21st-century education!
