"There is no doubt among educators that, once everything is said and done, the entire educational system revolves around one pivot: the teacher....Hence, the continuing education of the teacher remains one of the most important issues in modern education."

Founder Mario Salvadori (1907-1997)

End-of-the-year assessments for the 2009-2009 school year are in from the principals and teachers at Salvadori GLOBE schools, and they have been very.
Here are three quotes that summarize the good work we are doing.

• Our math scores were outstanding for our students this year. Ninety-four percent of our students achieved in performance levels 3 and 4 on the NYS math assessment. We feel that the Salvadori experience helped our students learn and practice important math skills while they were engaged in exciting and fun-filled hands-on activities. JHS 185 Principal Valerie Sawinski
• Salvadori educator Rebecca Alvarez organized a walking field trip for the 1st grade to a local firehouse. It turned out to be the best trip of the year--all of the teachers agreed. The students were eager to sketch everything they saw. With their new knowledge of community helpers, they were able to ask informed questions. Students were also allowed to explore to explore parts of the truck. Later, students scored very high on the related social studies assessment. PS 52 teacher Susan Brill
• I observed students testing the strength of various beams that they created with paper. The students thought they were just "having fun" but in reality they were calculating, using math vocabulary, collaborating with classmates and developing a variety of social skills. JHS 185 teacher Vadana Gupta
