# Recharging Batteries at the WISE Forum

Posted on July 7, 2014 by Amy Price

We are grateful to New Rochelle High School for being such gracious hosts for the 2014 WISE Coordinators Forum. Educators and students from 13 high schools gathered for a lively exchange of ideas and best practices. A live performance by award-winning singer, musician and actor Michael Mark set the tone, with “Not on the Test.” A keynote presentation was followed by an expert panel and breakout roundtables.

Words from Our Guests
“I will use the information and ideas I learned today to evolve/improve our school’s program.”
Steve Nardi, WISE Mentor at Nyack High School

“My batteries were recharged; I was inspired by some of the presentation information.”
Ed Barrett, WISE Coordinator at Monument Mountain Regional High School

“I was able to learn more about other schools and students and staff.”
Constantine Andreadis, WISE Coordinator at Woodlands High School

“In an age where expression is being limited & student creativity dampened, it is even more important to have programs like WISE advertised & discussed within our communities. I’m gaining a more in-depth knowledge of the program [and] am better able to promote it.”
Suyen Taylor, PTA President, New Rochelle High School
