This is Super cool! We made Schools to Watch in Colorado! Meaning that our school is one that is a good model for other schools in the state to try to model themselves after!
Congratulations to our 2011 Schools to Watch!
It gives me great pleasure to officially welcome and introduce you to our wonderful (CAMLE) Colorado Association of Middle Level Education 2011 Colorado Trailblazer Schools to Watch.
These schools exemplify the four critieria outlined by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform:
- Academic Excellence
- Developmental Responsiveness
- Social Equity
- Strong Organizational Structures and Cultures
We are indeed fortunate to designate six fabulous new Schools to Watch and one redesignation. It was a challenging year as we reviewed and visited more schools than ever before. As you may know, last year we designated no new schools and affirmed only one redesignation. But neither snow nor sleet will keep CAMLE away from validating success in action.
