We’d like to give our PK-12th Math and our Special Education teachers a big shout-out for completing a 30 hour Curriculum Alignment and Mapping Institute at Howe Public Schools over the past five days! Our PK-12th English Language Arts teachers also completed two days of the training. We’d like to thank Kim Collier with Collier Education Consulting for leading our teachers through a wonderful week of learning, collaboration and planning for the 2022-23 school year! There is never enough time in the school year for teacher collaboration, and our staff benefited greatly by this week of planning together! #HPSLions
