Two of our BHS students were recently featured in Agile Classrooms’ latest guide for educators, "The Check-In Routine"! 🌟
John Miller, founder of Agile Classrooms, visited Boone EDGE in September to see our students using the Scrum process in their design thinking projects with local business partners. Impressed by their skills and teamwork, John captured our students in action and showcased them in his new guide, which is distributed nationwide.
We’re proud to be a part of the Agile Classrooms community and look forward to continuing this partnership!
