Greeting Students at the Door
NEU @ Crystal Middle School
"We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to be educated in a way that prepares them for college. When schools exhibit a culture of universal achievement by believing in students, they collaborate around that belief. During collaboration, they align their standards as a team. As teams align standards, they need to assess the standards and manage the data. Then, and only then, can they pursue meaningful interventions with their students."
Each week we will focus on one tier of the NEU Ladder for student and student success. If you want to find out more about the NEW Systems, check out this link: https://noexcusesu.com/about/what-we-believe/
This week, please access NEU Connect, create an account, and explore the resources available to you because we are part of the NEU Network! Click this link to access NEU Connect: http://acceleronlearning.com/go/neu-connect/
