A new teacher orientation was held recently for the Massapequa Public Schools. Over the span of two days, teachers were introduced to key personnel in the district, introduced to important teaching strategies and even took part in a science lesson. This "mini-class" had teachers work together to discover the nature of certain liquids, eventually grouping the substances into categories. By participating in this activity, teachers were reminded of the importance of a constructivist approach to education.
