Welcome to Episode 10 of The Darlington Podcast! 

In this episode, Stefan Eady, assistant head of school for academic resources, chats with Julie Fine and Michael Natarella about Darlington's skills-based curriculum and the importance of active learning as part of Darlington's Cycle of Learning. 

Julie has taught at Darlington since 2010 and currently serves as a fifth grade teacher. Dr. Natarella has taught at Darlington since the fall of 2020 and serves as a fourth grade teacher.

Darlington's Cycle of Learning focuses on education for the whole child from start to finish so that our students graduate with the confidence, connections, and compassion they need to succeed in college and their career, guiding them towards being meaningful contributors to the greater good throughout their life. This cycle begins and ends with Darlington's Portrait of a Graduate, taking into consideration even our youngest students.
