The School Connection - June 2007
We're looking back at some of our favorite stories from this school year. You can watch the following segments from The School Connection by clicking on each link (you will need the free QuickTime Player from Apple):National Board Certified Teachers: We begin with a segment we ran back in February when we announced that the Wake County Public School System now has more national board certified teachers than any other district in the nation.
High School Redesign at East Wake: In March we told you how East Wake High School is taking steps to prepare its students for success in the 21st century by dividing the campus into four small schools with an emphasis on project-based learning.
Blue Diamond Assists Middle School Teachers: Earlier this year we explained how a new computer based tool is helping teachers at Salem Middle School determine exactly what their students are learning or not learning, providing them with the opportunity to intervene before it’s too late.
The Answer Man: Let’s take another look as Wake County’s Answer Man Jeff Nash introduces the Superintendent’s Leadership Team.
Longview Goat Auction: Back in November we ran a rather unusual story about a herd of plastic goats at Longview School. This is one segment that’s definitely worth another look.
Student Performance: Enjoy this performance by students at Wake Forest Rolesville High School that originally aired in November.
