As a teacher, what does it mean to you to be healthy? Safe? Engaged? Supported? Challenged?
As a teacher, what does it mean to you to be healthy? Safe? Engaged? Supported? Challenged?
Throughout the 2010-11 school year we will be seeking answers to these questions. This year’s NMASCD fall conference centers on the theme Whole Teacher/Whole Child—Building Bridges of Efficacy. We believe it is teachers who must first be healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged if they are going to effectively advocate for the Whole Child. Our newsletter will introduce each one of these concepts during a specific month and then pose a central question eliciting your feedback. Action researchers will gather your monthly responses and identify the most salient points from the discussion. The results will be reported back to you in the next month’s edition.
