“Teaching Students AND Each Other” AP Collegial Circles For the second year in a row, Cold Spring Harbor Central School District spearheaded and hosted a unique collaborative learning experience for AP teachers across 43 Long Island districts. These AP Collegial Circles united 129 teachers at the Jr./Sr. High School campus who engaged in productive workshops entailing open dialogue, problem-solving and networking, all with an eye on improving student learning and achievement. Joining this quest for collegial mindsets, were teachers who have been teaching anywhere from one year to 25 years as a collective group to brainstorm, learn, strive to improve, and share best practices that work.
DDP Engineering Challenge Technology teacher Morgan Milleisen has been keeping her students busy in her DDP: Design and Drawing for Production class (a new elective this year). In this course, students engage in creative problem-solving, engineering and computer aided design. They learn to apply their artistic skills and engineering mindset to create designs, build and test models, and work both independently and on a team. This particular engineering challenge had students plan, design and build a structure of their choice in woodshop using scroll saws, chop saws, belt sanders and palm sanders. Some of the designs included a shoe display, a chess board, and a small table. Amazing work!

Students go back in time to learn about the Mohawk Nation and traditional Iroquois government and culture. The educators speak about, demonstrate, play games and do crafts with a variety of museum artifacts that explain the Native American daily life of hunting, planting, gathering and growing to survive. The lessons also make connections to strong character education which is the heart of Iroquois teachings of respect, honor and responsibility, and their special relationship to nature - the greatest teacher...
