In The Spotlight
It is with sheer pizzazz that our ClassLink teachers cultivate the art of Student Inquiry with professional development to tap into the distinct learning styles of their students.  Through our focus groups, these teachers collaborated with other professionals to bring forth an innovative haven of hands of learning and best practices to their school.  Indeed, the light shines bright in both New York City and Secaucus!

 

Writer's Corner
In this issue we feature, an urban middle school located in the South Bronx.  I am pleased to shine the OnTrack spotlight on Yocasta Pena.  She is a bilingual special education teacher that has singlehandedly taken the art of Student Inquiry and metaphorically planted her “seeds”, the students of IS 98.  Click here to view this article now.

Best Practices
Below, please view our video interviews from our first OnTrack focus group. The Deputy Chancellor of Teaching and Learning Santiago Taveras spoke on the struggles and strengths coupled around Student Inquiry.  During this time, ClassLink’s clients attended a social meet and greet in which best practices and common areas of crucial concern regarding Student Inquiry were addressed.
