Author Biographies at ICS
 “What started off as a birthday party turned into a literary adventure!” Eva Gonzalez stumbled across a wonderful way to get her third grade students to interact with the books they read. Through author research, a more thorough understanding of various writing styles, and complimentary book activities, her students have become so engaged that they have personally realized how much they love to read by extending their learning!

Why Green Schools Matter
 Going green helps the environment and the health of students. Make green goals part of your school's mission! Six key areas for schools to consider when going green are green building and renovation, healthy school environments, green school spaces, recycling, food, and the curriculum. Using the environment in your curriculum is a great way to link content areas and also to show students how global issues directly affect their lives.
The Case for Interactive Whiteboards
 Interactive whiteboards are sweeping the world. In 2008, worldwide sales increased 32 percent. Using this technology in a meaningful and effective way has many benefits. Interactive whiteboards allow increased student engagement, participation, and focus. They can be of particular assistance to struggling students and allow the same classroom tool to be used for above and below-level student learning. Read additional benefits of interactive whiteboards.
