This week's teacher feature showcases Maple Avenue Middle School because, well, they deserve it! MAMS has been hard at work redesigning the middle school experience for students. The teachers decided to use a Pineapple Chart to open up their classrooms to each other and allow continuous professional development to take place throughout the workday. By definition, "A Pineapple Chart is a systematic way to put a “welcome mat” out for all classrooms--a central message board that lets other teachers know that you’re doing something worth watching today, and if they’d like to come by, your door is open." To get a better understanding, watch the video below created by Kasey Smith. Way to go MAMS! You all should be proud of how hard you are working to make teaching and learning better for our students!

I agree! This is something that all the buildings can implement. I believe the high school is piloting one right now. I am hopeful that once the building project is complete the new K-5 building could do this as well!
