Harry Wong's The First Day of School

Read Unit  A and B:

Here is the first discussion question for the Teacher Support Program's book study of Drs. Harry and Rosemary Wong's The First Days of School...
The Wongs share that "the greatest asset of a school is its people." Have you found this to be true? Who ARE these people and how can you create an environment that allows you to capitalize on the successes of these people and create a learning environment in the first weeks/months of school that fosters positive, respectful relationships with these "people?" 

Have you found success in forming cohorts of support at your campus? How are you planning on utilizing the tools provided to nurture and support you through your year?


Blog your answers to these questions in the comments below. And respond to two of your classmates comments.
