Changing School Culture

Great article on working to change school culture...perhaps we should start engaging in this type of dialogue?

Technology...

This great article regarding using cell phones in the classroom was emailed to me via one of my many subscriptions regarding education, and I thought I would share.  If we could find ways to incorporate technology into our classes rather than fighting the students about it, do we think our lives would be a little "easier?"

Let me know what you think!

Students want change, too!

Today a couple of students approached me about starting a student council in an effort to help make Crosby a better place.  They are eager to make sure that students look forward to coming to school and learning.  They have started a petition to change dress code, and are in the process of working on a dress code that will be acceptable to all parties.  Hopefully it will work, since many of our suspensions are a result of dress code violations.

We are taking steps in the right direction!!!  Here's to a better Crosby!
