Teachers Return!

Today is the day that all teachers return to the building. I am so excited for this year to start. Our teachers will spend the next three days focusing on getting prepared for the year, focusing on quality instruction and student achievement. Many of our teachers were trained in the Learning Focused Schools model last year and will spend two days revising curricula, units, and lessons to fit this model, which research has shown to spark interest in students and therefore improving their achievement. Many of those teachers who weren't trained in this last year will receive the training over the next couple days. In addition, our technical instructors will be working with their curricula to begin matching it with the improved PA state guidelines for technical education.

All in all, an exciting three days has arrived!
