Many teachers participated in NIOS by doing a lesson in their classroom. The lessons below are just a snapshot of some of the feedback on the amazing experiences teachers and students had in classrooms. These anonymous comments come from brave teachers who taught a lesson during NIOS and are meant to be a reflection of the types of activities that happened across campus during the week. Thanks to everyone who participated.
I love Not In Our Schools (NIOS) week for so many reasons! :-) The main reason being that this week provides students and teachers an opportunity to talk about topics that can be emotional, as well as sometimes uncomfortable. As a result, these conversations end up bringing our school community closer to one another. We are willing to share with each other a little bit more, our conversations are a little more thoughtful, and the goal of teaching the “whole child” is really being done during this week. More...
Greetings again from Gunn High School! Today was our kick-off for Not in Our Schools Week, and we had a very successful kick-off event in the quad at lunch, not to mention a huge number of students wearing the “We’re All in it Together” T-shirts that we handed out last week. The vibe on campus was great today, accentuated by the first sunny day in a few weeks. Today was also the day for English and World Language teachers to do a lesson revolving around NIOS ideas.
