IN THE SPOTLIGHT
"Recognition of academic success at any level provides students with the motivation to continue in their pursuit of academic success. Reinforcement of the work and effort it takes to achieve academic sucess builds habits and understandings that students can access throughout their academic career and well into their adult life." - Sean Cain and Mike Laird

Tip of the Week
Classroom Setup - Room Arrangement
Anita Archer states, “Have you noticed that when you step into certain classrooms, you get a feel for the ‘climate’ of the room that is mirrored in the teacher’s enthusiasm and students’ engagement? The ‘climate’ doesn’t occur automatically. The teacher has set up certain conditions and organized the environment so that life in the classroom is positive and orderly.”
After visiting classrooms, several teachers collected ideas and inspiration. Thank You for participating in our room arrangement walk throughs. Continue to think on the positive climate you continually establish in your classrooms and with your students. And ask yourself, "What does my classroom climate feel like, sound like, and look like?"
