  SLA English teacher Zac Chase had his 11th graders read and then write essays from the "This I Believe" project.

• Peer Coaching Program :: Sponsored by Microsoft

  The Peer Coaching Program is designed to train teacher leaders to serve as peer coaches for colleagues. As coaches, these teachers will assist their peers in identifying ways to enhance standards-based instruction and to offer their students engaging, technology-rich, learning activities. In doing so, peer coaches will help their colleagues to develop the necessary technology skills and instructional strategies needed to integrate technology into teaching and learning.
