Welcome to the NHS Bobcat Staff Development page for the 2013-2014 school year. This year, our focus is on enhancing teacher effectiveness and ensuring students demonstrate proficiency in key assessments like the Keystone exams. Important dates for testing, including winter and spring sessions, are highlighted, alongside special intervention programs like Read 180 and TRACKS to support students. Peer observations will be crucial this semester, and we encourage collaboration through Tech Thursdays and other professional development opportunities. Let's work together to foster a culture of learning!
