The "First Wave" of North Marion Innovation Zone teachers are ready to roll! Excitement was high as teachers wrapped up last minute plans for the first day of the Innovation Zone co-curricular classes tomorrow.
Algebra I and Physical Science 9 will be co-taught and so will English 9 and Social Studies. First Wave teachers have moved to new rooms, co-opted new furniture, and designed engaging lessons for the freshmen. However, they are not without the support of the rest of the faculty.
Other faculty have pitched in to support the First Wave teachers as we've designed the new Husky Mentor program, a Peer Tutoring program, and started piloting the e-mentoring program offered by the WV Education Alliance. Our idea is to help students make connections that foster better attendance on our way to an improved graduation rate.
Additional teachers have made new signs for the classroom doors, written more grants, and set up trainings in Edline and other technology and software.
Stay tuned for more exciting news on the IZ front!
