by Eugenia Fulton, Banneker HS Site Coordinator
Chart Talk is just one of the protocols being used by students at Banneker High School. The faculty received training on CCLC protocols this summer at a 5-day institute and they have been able to continue learning protocols throughout the year with Connie Parrish and Susan Taylor.
