Great work by our district math leaders! #proudtobeacomet

[Grand Ledge Public Schools @GLPS_rightnow]

Last night, teacher leaders and building administrators met to discuss what we value around math instruction. We had outstanding conversations about how these values inform our K-12 essential learnings, classroom strategies, and communication with kids, colleagues, and families!

Glad to have the opportunity to work with our outstanding @GLPS_rightnow mentors around providing institutional, instructional, emotional, and physical support for our newest teachers! #proudtobeacomet

[Beagle Elementary @BeagleSchool]

Today some #BeagleROCKS mentors (& others) engaged with @billbarnes1982 re: our beginning teacher mentoring program! Support of mentors is crucial to retaining our top notch talented teaching staff! Great work, Comets! @GLPS_rightnow #Proudtobeacomet

The @MSUCollegeofEd Doctor of Education program was a perfect fit for me, and of equal value were the relationships established in #MSUDEL Cohort 1
