This is a great oppurtunity! Im excited to share this with our ELAR teachers and in turn get our students engaged on a whole new level!!
Teaching in a Title 1 school, my opinion is that I would love for 5 Title 1 schools to have an opportunity to win a class set. That just means that more teachers can reach more students. The winning teacher/school can then pass it around to the ELAR teachers as this would garauntee that every kid has an opportunity to read and learn about Inner Strength.

Twitter: @CourgarCTE or @CoachQSaysThis is a great idea! Our nurse already does something like this. But I wonder if it wouldn’t be possible to expand it to some of our other female staff, in case the nurse is ever not on campus.
Last Year we started a Boys Book Club at our school with myself and one of our Math Teachers Sponsoring it. It was a huge success, we read several books about real world situations that some of our kids were going to. We then partnered with our local battered womens shelter, to raise awarness and money for it. While our students were not able to meet any of the women or kids living in the facility for safety reasons they did get to meet with Police Officers and Social Workers who work with the families. This was a great opportunity for our boys who may or may not have father figures in their lives. It showed them the value in respecting women.
