"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." N. Mandela

Welcome to our blog! 

We are three educators on a mission to find a new way to educate our students. We will be creating a program to work with at risk students at the middle school level. We are looking for innovative methods to engage them in learning and increase their likelihood of success. We are passionate about education and want to start that fire in our students. We plan to give our students the support they need to help them learn. We will utilize technology in every way we can in order to offer a blended learning environment to our students.

We are now into our second week of the school year. We plan to visit other programs to find the successes they have had and apply those same ideals to our own program. We have met with several key people in our district so far and will be meeting with others in the weeks to come. It was very encouraging to meet with the administration of the middle school who is very motivated and supportive of this program. We will be at the open house for the middle school so we can connect with the parents of these students. We will also be working with a small group of students before we get this program off the ground for the beginning of the school year next year (2013-2014.) We can't wait to get going on our small group sessions!
