The complex issues before us today require a key set of problem-solving skills. How does Tabor Academy ensure our young men and women develop the curiosity and resilience to pursue and practice the skills of critical thinking, collaboration, communication, metacognition, empathy and citizenship for transfer to novel scenarios, as well as have the applicable content knowledge they need for the world they will engage?

I’ve been asked countless times, “What have you been doing on your sabbatical?” My typical reply is, “ALL of the things that I wouldn’t have time for when I am working:”     [Read More](https://info.taboracademy.org/blog/seabbatical-recap-traveling-volunteering-and-learning-0) Topics: [Tabor Academy](https://info.taboracademy.org/blog/topic/tabor-academy), [School by the Sea](https://info.taboracademy.org/blog/topic/school-by-the-sea), [Tabor Portraits](https://info.taboracademy.org/blog/topic/tabor-portraits), [Faculty News](https://info.taboracademy.org/blog/topic/faculty-news) #### [JJ Reydel Explores Italian Study Abroad Programs](https://info.taboracademy.org/blog/2015/08/26/jj-reydel-explores-italian-study-abroad-programs/) Posted by [ksaltonstall](https://info.taboracademy.org/blog/author/ksaltonstall) on Aug 26, 2015 12:24:25 PM -
