A colleague of Beth’s says she demonstrates the characteristics of welcoming and affirming every day with her students and colleagues. She goes out of her way to make students feel welcome and supported in the classes she works in. Beth always works with the classroom teacher to best support instruction and provide assistance to students that may be struggling or need a little extra help. Her positive energy is infectious! We love Mrs. Chirdo!
Teachers from Twelve Corners Middle School in Brighton visited Merton Williams Thursday, while Merton Williams teachers visited Twelve Corners Wednesday for "learning walks". As part of the visits, the teachers spent time in classrooms to observe instruction and taking a tour of the schools. At the end of the visit, the groups met to share their observations and ideas.
From coordinating curriculums and managing staff, to providing a safe and productive learning environment for students - our principals play a pivotal role in education. We thank our five principals for their extraordinary efforts to create and foster and environment that is welcoming and affirming; curious and not judgmental. #ThankAPrincipal
