AC's new tech gets high praise

Decatur Daily Democrat:

"I get tingles."

Those three words were used by a veteran Adams Central teacher, Harry Anderson, to express how happy he feels about using the New Tech (NT) style of team instruction.

At the May meeting of the AC school board, a lengthy presentation about the first year of NT at AC was made by four teachers, five students, and high school Principal Sean McConnell.

Anderson, now in his 14th year of teaching, said this year is without question "the most exciting" in his career.

He said it's the first time that when a student suddenly blurts out an idea to do something, he can reply, "Go for it!"

He thanked the school board for its foresight in moving to NT and said the teachers "poured their hearts into it."
