✳️ Tier 3 intervention is NOT special education. Tier 3 only means intensive support. Not all who need intensive support have an #IEP. Not all with an IEP need intensive support. #LeadInclusion
I posted this to FB last week to remind me connections influence who we become both personally and professionally. Sometimes, it can take 17+ years and a picture (or two) to set the record straight. Kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. This week, I got my shirt. @SpecialOlympics
Student engagement game strong! Shout out to Mr. Ritz and his students for hosting a funeral for John Proctor from The Crucible. Students easily analyzed & articulated the character’s development as they completed several tasks to include a Eulogy for Mr. Proctor. We see you!
Check out our Assistant Principal Mr. Boyack and US History teacher Ben White examining causes of the labor movement with students by analyzing documents and political cartoons in small groups. We see you! @oneclayschools @FLSSTeacher @MrBoyack#TACOstrategy#leaderslead
Happened to see this beauty of a door walking down the hallway. We see you Ms. Baldwin! Guidelines for Success and 7 Mindsets. The perfect mashup! @oakleafknights@flpbis@7Mindsets
When I started at Oakleaf, she was the first student to introduce herself. Today she was so excited to share the news. Yesterday, she entered into the Delayed Entry Program to serve our Country once she graduates. Goosebumps. #proudtoknowyou@oakleafknights@USNavy
I’m not much of a tweeter. Something has to inspire or excite me to share. These two moments deserve some attention. Varsity players coaching underclassmen and players acknowledging teammates publicly after the game. Talk about mind-sets. #7mindsets#Connected@oakleafknights
Some incredible teaching and learning is happening at OHS in Mr. Bradburn’s US History classroom. Breakout boxes focusing on Civil War standards got every single student in that classroom engaged. Keep it up! We see you. @CoachBradburn@oakleafknights@oneclayschools @FLSSTeacher
Still can’t believe I was given the opportunity to join such a gifted group of leaders and amazing staff of teachers. Can’t wait to meet the students next week. Excited for the future! #uknighted#OneClayB2S
For most situations, we only learn what we need to know after we've gone through it, and we learn more about ourselves while going through the experience. Something we must think about when creating learning experiences for students.
I applaud Target and other organizations for discounting school supplies for teachers, but it only propagates the perception that teachers should be paying for these resources and materials out of pocket. That narrative needs to change. #sorrynotsorry
Effective instruction involves more than content mastery, pedagogical prowess, and strategic resource utilization.
Those three are critical for sure... but never underestimate the importance of human connection in the classroom.
Every day, without fail, we spoke about our “day makers” at the end of the OPJH driveway. Redirecting our thoughts from the negative to positive allowed us to understand the negative is limited but can, if we allow it, consume all of our energy. Who was your day maker today?
This article was a helpful reminder for myself - "It seems to be human nature to find the negative. To complain and gripe about petty inconveniences. Yet we fail to appreciate the multitude of things that consistently go right in our lives." https://t.co/avN5Xewnqa
