Third Teacher is a new concept to most high schools. "3rd Teacher" has been part of elementary schools for years. The environment within the classroom, has a lot of impact on a student's life, has a lot to offer, has a lot to support student's learning and helping them reaching their full potential.
On May 6th 2014, we were among a very elite people who had the privilege of visiting St. Anthony Catholic School. Principal Beverly Paven, along with her amazing teachers, opened their school doors as well as their warm arms to welcome us into their school and classrooms!
Check out these amazing pictures on "Third Teacher" that is already happening at this amazing school.

St. Anthony Catholic School is not limiting the 3rd Teacher concept just within the classroom! The new project that is taking underway is to build a classroom OUTSIDE the walls! They have already established and designated a small space outside the school to place furniture for the kids to learn.
I am thrilled to introduce this new concept to my high school. The new "change" in my classroom, and its impact and effect on my students. I am, just like you, very curious!
Will be posting BEFORE & AFTER pictures.
