Welcome new staff to Warren G. Harding Middle School! We know you've heard that a few times already, but we want to make sure to express how excited we are for all of you to join our staff and make a difference in the lives of our students.

A big part of what we do with our instruction at Harding is explained in the book Better Learning Through Structured Teaching. All returning staff have already read this book, so with the goal of all of you hitting the ground running in August we would like you all to read it over the summer. The plan is to use this Wiki to coordinate discussion and provide support to everyone as you go through the book. The tabs on the right take you to a page for each chapter. Each page has two discussion posts - New Learning and Questions. After reading each chapter, please post at least once for each topic. The schedule below gives a framework for reading the material and posting comments.

Please let either Shelly or Joe know if you have any questions or concerns - our e-mail addresses are below. Thanks in advance for your work with this book, and we are really looking forward to working with all of you!
