STAFF SPOTLIGHT
This week the Dean Team would like to shine the spotlight on Mr. Omar AbuSabha, Dual Language Science Teacher. Mr. AbuSabha is consistently supporting school culture with his use of Kickboard daily. Mr. AbuSabha uses Kickboard as part of his classroom management tools and incentives. The success of this is the minimal number of disengaged students. Weekly Mr. AbuSabha is usually in the top 3 of Teacher Kickboard All-Stars with rewarding more than $1000 in Kickboard each week. Thank you Mr.AbuSabha for your fidelity with Kickboard and having great classroom management that supports the culture of CHEC.
