Hillcrest Elementary has been named a Solution Tree Promising Practices School! We are committed to high levels of learning for all students, and we’re excited to keep growing together! #ExpectTheBest#PLCatWork#atPLC
Our team spent the day learning from Sharon Kramer as we prepare for the upcoming school year. We are excited to take our new knowledge around accelerating learning for ALL students back to Hillcrest.
We were honored to welcome Dr. Byron Booker’s Foundations of Education class from Carson Newman University to Hillcrest this morning. We love showcasing all the great work going on in our building and meeting so many great future educators. #expectthebest@carson_newman_u
Identifying essentials is just step one. The real work? Treating them like they’re actually essential.
It’s not enough to declare the standard—we have to grow every student to meet it. Words don’t move kids, action does.
The difference between #FormativeAssessment and #SummativeAssessment is more than just whether a teacher assigns a grade.
This handy table from Assessment as a Catalyst for Learning breaks down the characteristics of each. https://t.co/rFpVrTn27F #Assessment#Grading
We are wrapping up day 3 of @SolutionTree’s Summit on PLC at Work! We’ve had a great week of learning and growing together. I can’t wait to get back to Hillcrest and go to work!
Ready for Day 1 of @SolutionTree’s Summit on PLC at Work! It’s going to be a great week of learning and growing in our professional practice. #atPLC#PLCatWork
The most powerful force in education? A unified team of teachers who decide their students will succeed. Let’s make that decision every day!

Today, our teachers spent the day digging into benchmark 2 data and completing root cause analyses on the most missed questions to identify misconceptions, errors, and mistakes. This information will be used to inform instruction as we re-engage students on these standards.
The Carson Newman University baseball team stopped by this morning! They welcomed kids off the bus, opened car doors, and gave out lots of high fives. It was a great way to start our first day after Fall Break! @CN_Eagles@CNBaseball@carson_newman_u
