Eleven Hardin Middle School Staff members have been to Helena to receive training in Project CRISS including the B.L.T. (Building Leadership Team or Striving Readers Team) and a few other staff members as well including: David Allen, Amy Braach-Hart, Scott Brokaw, Larry Ericksen, Jamie Feeley, Bethany Fuchs, Tim Hardy, Kelly Kinsey, Kam Koyama, Christy Morse, and Jill Wegner.

Through the direction of the Striving Readers Grant, the staff members above are going to be training you in a few of these strategies and asking that you simply implement one of them into your classroom within the next month or so. After implementation we then request that you reflect with other staff members in regard to this using the form provided as a guide. Common teaming time or common PREP time would be a great time to do this. We will share the information, but will not require the formal Reflection. If you do a CRISS strategy please email your thoughts and ideas or reflections to Kam. You do not need to do the Reflection paper. Resources for these strategies are available of this site or from other staff members. Please feel free to ask any of the members who have been trained for additional support. To relieve a bit of stress we are allowing you to incorporate this into your final video reflection if you would like. A rough outline of the final video filming is as follows:
