On Thursday, October 6th, our middle school teachers and two administrators had the opportunity to visit a
Charter School in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This school uses the
Teach Like a Championmodel that teachers here at Viscardi have been analyzing. We were anxious to see the techniques they had implemented to create high standards and quality instruction for students in grades 5 – 8. We were welcomed into many classrooms and observed a variety of subject areas. The school follows a strict academic and behavioral model; all teachers and students honor the guidelines established. Students are fully engaged in lessons through a variety of strategies and techniques.
Our staff will be integrating some of the techniques presented during this visit. We are always striving to incorporate new ideas in our ongoing efforts to provide quality and diverse instruction at the Henry Viscardi School
