The adult facilitator will serve as the facilitator of the group of ten to eleven students throughout the students' career at Neihardt. At the monthly Knights of the Round Table sessions, students focus on a school-wide theme, review the Neihardt Code of Honor, and review the Neihardt Common Practices. Some of the themes include activities that are connected to community service projects. Preschool and kindergarten students participate in similar activities within their classrooms during the Knights of the Round Table sessions. The Neihardt teaching staff prides itself in its knowledge of curriculum and instruction.
Staff development is provided within the building during weekly sessions.
Information at the staff development meetings is usually provided by staff within the building and determined by members of the Instructional Team. In addition to staff development within the building, the Neihardt staff is encouraged to participate in outside opportunities. In connection with the Teacher Evaluation and Professional Growth Cycle program, the Neihardt staff meets during monthly Focus Groups. The Focus Groups are comprised of staff members in the same phase of the Teacher Evaluation cycles. The Appraisal Phase staff focus on discussions centering around the Indicators of Effective Teaching.
