Nine AE/MS staff, plus former staff member Jeannette Shedd, joined others at New England College for the four-day graduate level Summer Institute course “Improving Teacher Morale in the Respectful School.” We gained lots of knowledge and strategies to make AE/MS even better next year. A great time was had by all. We just wish the whole staff had been able to attend. Back: Heidi Unger, Amanda Lauster, Jane Slayton.
