CFISD recently had special visitors from China to observe two New Arrival Centers (NACs). Dr. Linda Macias, associate superintendent of curriculum and instruction and accountability, organized the event. She escorted the visitors to Hairgrove ES where they were met by principal Darynda Klein. The purpose of the visit was to observe ESL classrooms and teaching strategies. The visitors were introduced to staff and students and taken on a tour of the school, observing classroom activities and a teacher planning session. Dr. Macias also led a tour of Cy Ridge HS to observe its NAC program.
"They were very interested in the way we educate with group work instead of having the students sitting in rows of desks," Klein said, "and how we meet the individual needs of each student within the same classroom."
