It has been an incredible week so far! I've been honored to co-coach this year's AAP cohort for #GBSI2022 Collaborating with @fcpsaap staff was amazing and #FCPS has some unbelievably talented and enthusiastic incoming educators! The future holds great things for our students.
D2 #2021AAPSummerInstitute Today I'm participating in the M3 training with @FortHuntAAP. During these lessons students will learn to express themselves clearly and to share their reasoning. Implementing "Talk Moves" opens the discussion for student ownership. @The_Terrace_ES
One of the best parts of being a teacher is getting to be part if your students' lives outside of school. A former student invited me to a concert today and I even got to see another former Fort Hunt Fox perform!
I had SUCH a great time teaching @mrsloewenberg's 4th graders this morning! We got to work through reading skills using mythology in Jacob's Ladder, explore some creative writing, AND think critically about the role that location played in Jamestown's history. Absolute rockstars!
After a great morning with 6th grade #fhesfoxes my faithful teaching companion and I are off for Walking Wednesday and a screen break during lunch time. #Walktober@FortHuntES
A LOT of reflection on learning and time to plan is on the agenda for the next few days. I have a million thoughts and ideas from @FCPSEquity's #FCPSCall2Action and now I need to put it together into something solid as I look at the upcoming school year. Amazing 2 days!
One of my fav things about #FCPSCall2Action is that all of the presenters also recognize this is a journey. I've been in sessions learning alongside so many who are presenting at other sessions. This is a lifelong process and we can ALL learn and grow.
"We can't wait for people to be ready. We need to normalize conversations about race and lean in."
SO glad I caught the last session on Digital Blackface. Fascinating discussion.

Doing a lot of thinking about how I can leverage distance learning this fall and change my practices to create more opportunities for our ELs and help to change barriers to AAP identification into opportunities #FCPSCall2Action
