“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
