Mr. Simpson and The Craig School Guest Teacher Series: |
|
Last week, Craig High School science and math teacher, Mr. JC Simpson was our first teacher of this school year to take part in our Craig School Guest Teacher Series which shares the expertise of the Craig faculty across campuses and programs.
Mr. Simpson led a science workshop on IPAD Studies: Air Quality and Pollution with the Craig School 7th graders. Correlated with what our 7th graders are currently studying in Mrs. Guthrie’s science class, Mr. Simpson led an experiment using IPAD apps to measure CO2 and O2 concentrations while burning a candle in an enclosed space. |

Craig Speech and Language Pathologists |
|
At the end of November, Craig School Speech and Language Pathologists, Harriett Hughes Rex, SLS, and Cheryl Kaplan, CCC-SLP, attended "A Conference for Speech and Language Pathologists", The conference was held in Fairfield and included sessions on practical strategies and innovative activities for building vocabulary skills, strategies to strengthen language-based critical thinking and self-expression skills, and practical ways to collaborate with our teachers to support literacy. All of the workshops provided practical activities that will be used with students during their Craig Speech therapy sessions and in-class speech services. |

Craig School Nurses and Coaches |
|
The nurses and coaches of The Craig School all recently completed The Sports Related Concussion Training Program required by the state of New Jersey. There has been a recent focus on concussions in sports and the lack of awareness of the potentials of this type of injury. Because of this, NJ put together a series of peer-reviewed programs entitled Concussion Wise that incorporate the latest science and practical applications regarding the prevention and management of concussion. Within this certification program, our team of Nurses and Coaches learned concussion basics, as well as steps to prevent and properly care for concussions. |
