I'm very proud of Danbury High School. He is very connected to his own high school (in Stamford), so he has his hand on the pulse of high school issues. |
Joan is part of a wonderful team of nurses at the school. We have 3,000 students here, and three nurses who have to deal with about 100 youngsters a day. I don't know what we'd do without them in today's world. |
One of the things we have tried to do is work on a culture to increase student achievement for all students. I saw in the last school I worked in, the enormous benefit of looking at student work so we can tweak our curriculum. |
The new (teacher) contract will call for a little more freedom for this type of work, and we will have it next year as an established practice. |
We replace desks one an as-needed basis, but is this something we want to look into now? Yes. |
