We would like to congratulate Theresa Mitchell on accepting the Special Education Para position. We are excited that she is now a full-time staff member. With her transition, we now have a vacancy for a lunch aide. If you know someone who would be interested, please have them apply online at NHACareers.com.

Data Analysis Cycle

We use our Core Values as a way to achieve our College Readiness Goal. One of the Core Values is to take ownership for the success of our students. One way to do that is to follow our Data Analysis Cycle. Before break, we completed our first full cycle and have started the cycle again.

How are you continuing with Phase 1 (Backwards Planning) in your daily instruction in preparation for Interim 2?

Admin Observations

For the month of January, the admin team will be doing collaborative observations focusing on Teaching from the Framework; primarily on engagement strategies. We want to see how you are ensuring all students are engaged in learning. Think of, but not required, Kagan Strategies. Please know that we will try to notify you in advance if the entire admin team is coming into your classroom, but it may not always be possible.

Do not hesitate to reach out to the deans or me if you have any questions about the expectations.
