Sunman Dearborn Middle School, a New School to Watch!
Throughout the Schools to Watch process, our school has taken some drastic changes; we are implementing a teaming schedule for 6th grade students, the implementation of the Trojan Careers Program and our Community Service Day. Our staff has transformed their mentality of education, and understand the importance of a positive culture and importance of educating the whole student.
In coming weeks, we will feature other schools that have earned designation or redesignation recently. As a reminder, we have workshops coming up on February 22 and April 10 where you can learn more about the Schools to Watch process. Contact Shirley Wright if you have any questions.

MythBusters: Teacher Leader Edition
"Teacher leadership is an exciting and expanding asset to the field of education. Opportunities for personal and professional growth have evolved from individual professional development courses to action research projects and community-based learning experiences. The question is no longer if teacher leadership should be an option for schools and districts, but how stakeholders will capitalize on the evolving roles of teacher leaders to promote student success."
