The HEAT Is On!

Today marks the beginning of another exciting school year here at ELMS! We began the day by welcoming our very talented staff back to work and introducing our newest faculty members! The energy and enthusiasm exhibited today was invigorating and sets the stage for a great year! I especially enjoyed the musical abilities exhibited during our opening warm-up!

During our faculty meeting, I introduced our theme for the year – The HEAT Is On! Our theme is based on the framework developed by Dr. Chris Moersch that places the focus on developing lessons that reinforce 21st Century learning skills that all of our students need to be successful.

So, what is HEAT?



Below is a link to our opening Keynote presentation.

The HEAT is ON! Well done Tom! I'd love to find out how you delivered the message. The slides speak for themselves as you showcased your vision for the year...well done! My question comes to how did you share this? It's in the delivery that makes the difference...hopefully you can share some insights into time, style, etc... I plan on turning up the HEAT too!
