Description:	A shift is a change; a process. It is movement and the transformation ofsomething from one state to another. Shift is development. It is growth.Shift is evolution. And, as many things do, so do students shift.A shift can be seen in many things, especially geometry. As thesimplest polygon - the triangle with merely three sides - shifts, it addsmore and more facets to itself. Moving from square to pentagon tohexagon to the circle. The circle, the most complex, with infinitely manysides was once the triangle. It has changed, grown, evolved. It hasshifted. And throughout the course of the year students learn, and growand change. They shift. On the last day of school they are no longer thesame person they were on the first. However for anything to shift itmust undergo a process.First students must be exposed to their environment: unfamiliarwith what to do in a strange situation, they must find what they do nothave, to learn what they need to have, to do well and to thrive in thisnew place. It is only after this over exposure to their surroundings thatthey may then adapt to that environment: now aware of what theyneed, they begin to change and try to manage themselves so that theymay do phenomenal things. Once this adaptation has manifested, thestudents then evolve: no longer unfamiliar with what to do, no longerjust aware of how to do it, but actually doing it. Shaped and changed bypeople, places and things, the students transform. They grow; theyevolve; they shift.m
