About Heather Naro

Education is an evolving profession, as educators we must embrace change in order to maintain and sustain high quality student learning. Change is important for growth within the school and its community. It is the responsibility of the administration to foster the school culture but ultimately it is the effort of the entire faculty working collaboratively together toward common goals. I believe that schools can be successful if the focus is on students and how we can improve student learning. This means looking at each child’s learning styles and our teaching practices. We need to constantly evaluate ourselves by setting goals and monitoring those goals. It involves taking risks that may lead to failure in the short term but a learning opportunity in the long term. This culture needs to be fostered within the school and must be modeled by the administration. Students need to be supported in the risk-taking model so that they do not fear stepping out of their comfort zone but rather see all opportunities as a learning experience.
