Superintendent Dr. Ric Dressen participated in the reading minute in hours 1, 2 and 3 today. Dr. Dressen read from Daniel Pink's book A Whole New Mind about the need for creative thinkers in the 21st Century and beyond. In addition to reading an excerpt from Pink's book, Dr. Dressen explained the differences between right and left brain thinking, and pointed out the fact that EPS is fostering an academic culture of creativity to meet the right-brained needs of the 21st Century. Dr. Dressen also spent time asking students about their creative activities at school and about their future career paths, commenting on how those career paths would involve "A Whole New Mind" to be successful. Thanks Dr. Dressen for the great reading minute.
