Educational Excellence
“I tell them, ’show me that you’re challenging yourself to try something new.’”
We see so many exciting things going on in our classrooms on a daily basis. We see teachers taking risks and trying new things. We see students taking initiative and taking ownership of their learning. This article is a great way to remind us of all the things we are doing right, and what we can attempt to do more of in our classrooms. This is definitely a must read.

Intentional Instruction
“Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.” John
Maxwell “…that sentiment is true. We choose whether or not we will
grow, change, or innovate. But in schools, where we focus on our students
as the future, growth can no longer be simply an option” George Couros
Our staff core values state we believe the same as Mr.
Couros. Are you willing to change as we all move forward with guiding
groups? Guiding groups provides the teacher with the pathway for us to
implement our desire to be student-centered during Tier 1 instruction.
Remember Dr. Nikki’s advice, start small but just start!
Collaborative Community
The Nurtured Heart Approach is our framework to responding to students' behaviors. It is always a work in progress and we can always get better and stronger with using the approach. Here is a reminder on how to capture those "Polaroid Moments."
