Update ~ February 2-6, 2015

Celebrating Success
We continue to strengthen our partnership with NAU. You may recall that we hosted a cohort of 8 graduate students from the NAU Masters of Arts in Teaching Science (Mat-S) in the fall.  These students rolled up their sleeves and helped us during the first days back with our students and went right into the classrooms to work side by side with CHS science teachers.  The goal was for these students to get to know the school as a system as well as to learn the ins and outs of teaching.  This project seemed to work incredibly well and we have found this partnership to be mutually beneficial for NAU and CHS.  This semester we are launching another lab school project here at CHS. Fifteen NAU,  P.E. students will be working directly with our CHS P.E. Teachers and Students.  This is truly an exciting partnership and I greatly appreciate all the teachers who are willing to host and mentor these aspiring teachers.

Power in your Presence
Thank you to the many teachers who are in the hallways and at your doorways during passing periods. Your presence is powerful in helping to create our positive school climate.  I came across this short video with a great message;  Dr.  Rosemary Wong on positive classroom greetings click here
