Bringing excellence in data driven lesson design to support student growth and ownership in time, place and pace for all GCISD students.

➡️Join us for @GCISD Summer Virtual Learning for Elementary teachers! We will offer the same @Webex session twice (6/2 and 6/8) and will be diving into how to intentionally use choice boards to move the instructional needle. @MrsShepGCISD @Blended_Harden @GCISDInTech @GCISDBlends

What better way to allow student voice than to HEAR Student Voices....#STILLIRISE

[Jessica Fleitman @Coach_JFleitman]

Who said STAAR boot camp has to be boring. The kids LOVED this escape room. Focusing on inferencing, main idea, and supporting details. @ELAatGMS @gmsstem @GCISDBlends

[GCISD Blended Learning @GCISDBlends]

Wahoo! Great work, @AveraRachael!

[Sarah Thompson, M.Ed. @sarahthompss]

End of the year reviews are FUN and ENGAGING in @AveraRachael USH class!! Students have control over their pace & path (thanks @MrsShepGCISD @GCISDBlends) and they are loving these games/puzzles! #OurHouseGMS

[GCISD Blended Learning @GCISDBlends]

Choice boards are a great way to give students control over path and pace!

[Amy Leitner @amyleitner06]

🎮 Join @MrsShepGCISD and I on 4/27 at 3:15 pm on @Webex for Leveling Up Your Choice Boards! We're excited to meet with the group of over 20 elementary teachers, librarians, and coaches who have already signed up. Enroll here: https://t.co/9iTKbP9iQ0 @GCISDInTech

Putting students at the helm of their learning! Way to give control to the students and increase buy-in of the learning! All of the students are engaged and taking away so much!

[Trelawny Shepherd, M. Ed. @MrsShepSpeaks]

Kids are LOVING having the choice of pace and path with @AveraRachael's History reviews! Ss are using formative assessment data to guide them on next steps for review. They told me today they appreciate moving at their own pace and in the order they choose. @GrapevineMiddle

We would love to work with you to create a Playlist for your class!! #GCISDBlends

[Ashley Harden, M.Ed @Blended_Harden]

Have you used a Playlist in your class? Why not? Let's give the students some control of their learning! @GCISDBlends @LINC_PD #BLinAction #LINCStream2021

[GCISD Blended Learning @GCISDBlends]

Way to go, @Coach_JFleitman! Leveraging technology to personalize learning based on data. Way to meet the needs of all the learners in your classroom!

[Jessica Fleitman @Coach_JFleitman]

Mini Design Challenge as an extension while re-teach groups are hard at work. They are creating stands for display of future poetry only using construction paper. Look at the Iteration from a SS. @gmsstem @ELAatGMS

@TimberlineNews teacher, @mrswilliamstes is ROCKING student-driven learning in her classroom! Check out how she is using intentional choice stations to support students' goals and engagement. She is #BrilliantlyBlended!

I love these! Data is such a powerful tool. Used intentionally, it can change everything. #DataDrivenInstruction is a @GCISDBlends pillar of Blended Learning and a great place to start when blending a lesson.

[Sarah Thompson, M.Ed. @sarahthompss]

It was a great day for Blended Learning Walks at GMS ☀️ Teachers, thank you for sharing your classrooms with us today - it was so exciting to see such intentional lesson design & examples of BL! Thank you @GCISDBlends & @MrsShepGCISD for your support & leadership❤️! #OurHouseGMS

Yep, no blending the best of brick and mortar with the best of online teaching! Nope, not here! #WrongAnswersOnly

[Dawn LeBleu @DawnLeBleu]

@Blended_Harden #wronganswersonly All blended learning happens in a brick and mortar setting.

[Trelawny Shepherd, M. Ed. @MrsShepSpeaks]

Checkout this awesome use of @CanvasLMS! @Coach_JFleitman and @KateCroslinGMS put in reteach modules for kiddos to work through at their own pace after they've analyzed their own TEKSCheck data. Amazing! @GCISDBlends @GCISD

[GCISD Blended Learning @GCISDBlends]

Totally. Doing all the things with all the people all at the same time! Don't forget with zero intentionality! #WrongAnswersOnly

[Mallory Schneider @Ms_SchneiderSLE]

@GCISDBlends @SLESnowden @GCISD Every kind of teaching rolled up in one 😂 #wronganswersonly

[GCISD Blended Learning @GCISDBlends]

As long as every kid does the same worksheet at the same time giving no control over path, pace, path or time! #WrongAnswersOnly

[GCISD Blended Learning @GCISDBlends]

@OCTFields @GCISD And definitely not using data to drive those objectives...Sounds like a teaching nightmare!! #Wronganswersonly

[GCISD Blended Learning @GCISDBlends]

Okay, @GCISD Friends....we have some sweet @GCISDBlends stickers to hand out! For a chance to get one sent to you--reply to us with the definition of Blended Learning..but WRONG ANSWERS only! Include the Hashtag #WrongAnswersOnly.

We can't wait to see what you come up with!

[GCISD Blended Learning @GCISDBlends]

@ReinenPhysics @GCISD 😂😂😂 A+! Forget station rotations- we’ve got blender rotations! #wronganswersonly
