We hope that you will keep in touch and use each other (and us) for support and resources. Feel free to send Naryn any articles or websites or ideas and she will link them to this class site. The "Different Lens" project will also be in its second year in SD 67 and we hope you will use the website for ideas. We would also love to have some "guest bloggers" next year, so if you had a successful lesson or an experience with a student who is at-risk then please let us know! We would love to include your story and strategies on the blog (it's all about sharing great ideas!!)
For now we will leave you with some thought provoking articles that are linked below. Good luck to all of you in September, and once again, thank you from all of us.
