Food for Thought
“Friday Focus posts have increased connections within our staff. By reading about what other teachers are doing, I feel more ‘in the know’ about my colleagues and their classrooms. I get some great ideas, and feel more in touch with peers who I don’t get to chat with as often as I’d like.” – Lori Cheney, NAHS Intervention Specialist@MrsLoriCheney
“The Friday Focus does many things: it sets the tone for Innovating and experimenting with fresh strategies, it highlights learning environments that show engaging practices both in and outside of the classroom, and it offers his perspective on teaching and learning in a way that is shared, celebratory, and inquisitive.” – John Kuijper, NAHS English Teacher@MrKuijper
“As a member of the administrative team, I find the Friday Focus blog as informative and helpfulTo stay connected to the happenings around ourschool. It’s a great opportunity to highlight staffmembers by sharing best practices in our building.Further, it is an easy way for the principal to emphasize the culture desired.” -Todd Keenan, NAHS Dean of Students @toddkeenan16
What information would your staff appreciate hearing about? Your students? Your students’ parents?

“In so many ways, learning is a
fundamentally social act. From circle
time in kindergarten, to study groups
in college, to team projects in the
workforce, sociability has always
greased the gears of learning.”
