We are so proud of Angel Lopez, from @MidlandHigh_MHS, and Joseph Thawng, from @Legacyrebels, for being named State Finalists in the Barbara Jordan Historical Essay competition! They represented MISD so well today in Austin, and Angel even placed 6th in the state! Thank you to our teachers who have encouraged and supported them along the way!

Spring is an important season for our students!

College entrance exams like the SAT and ACT provide opportunities for college admission and scholarships. Strong performance can open doors and expand post secondary options.

As a part of LHS Tall City Invitational, UIL A+ teams had an opportunity to be a part of a practice tournament. We are so proud of our students who showed up to compete, the coaches who supported them, and the families who cheered them on!

Lesson alignment leads to great outcomes. We are proud of our educators who ensure every day is a great student experience!

[Midland ISD Teaching & Learning @MISDTandL]

Ensuring teachers create and have an exemplar for their lesson is part of the lesson internalization process. Teachers who use their exemplar during their lesson ensures students meet grade level expectations.

[Midland ISD Teaching & Learning @MISDTandL]

Internalization involves using high-quality instructional resources, TEKS, and ensuring clear opportunities for teacher instruction, student practice, and opportunities to check for understanding.

[Midland ISD Teaching & Learning @MISDTandL]

Powerful instruction doesn’t happen by accident. Lesson internalization leads to student outcomes. We are proud of the excellent work our teachers are doing!
