The schools, not the staff, have been designated low-performing. Thank you for all that you do for our children. Do not be disheartened because of this setback. Continue with your hard work and dedication. And remember, NCAE is here for you.
All children can learn is easily said but less easily implemented.
Communicate high expectations to all children. All staff must be committed to whatever it takes to show respect, concern and care for students. All staff should be accessible, and have planned meetings with small student groups. Schools should have high expectations for the physical environment as well as the academic environment. This may sound trite, but true reform happens primarily in the classroom in the interaction between teacher and student.
