New Horizon Academy Holds 17th Annual Professional Development Conference
On Monday, October 14, 2019, New Horizon Academy held their 17th Annual Professional Development Conference. Over 1,800 classroom and management staff attended the conference, which was filled with workshops, recognition and awards for achievement, parent testimonials, and opportunities to collaborate with one another. This year’s theme, Oh, Shift! An Introduction to Conscious Discipline”, took our teachers on an inspirational journey that reinforced the value of their chosen profession. Workshop topics included curriculum enhancements, child development research, cultural awareness, emotional intelligence, food and nutrition, behavior guidance, and more.
