I-High Five: Teacher Highlight of the Month: NCE CPT
These month's I-High Five goes out to our Noble Crossing CPT (Curriculum Planning Team). The CPT has been working tirelessly this semester at developing reading and writing units of study in grades K-5. This work has been done by grade level representatives from each elementary building, instructional coaches, media specialists, and administrators. This work has required LOTS of hours both within and outside of the school day. Please be sure to thank your CPT colleagues as we begin the unit implementation process. Their efforts have been GREATLY appreciated!
