Welcomed @SchwinnTeach to @FirstTNCORE w/a TN hug & candy bar—today is my last day @TNedu. Enjoyed working w/CTE but I’m beyond EXCITED to join @davidjtimbs & @jcityTNschools. Instructional Design Coach—working hand in hand w/teachers again & I’ll be in classrooms—that’s my jam!!
Who said teachers don't work during the summer?
Thanks to this group of teachers who are partnering with the Department to help make TCAP testing stronger than ever! This morning, @SchwinnTeach popped by the Social Studies committee to show her appreciation in person.
Education is more than teaching—it’s building relationships w/ people, empowering students w/ knowledge, building confidence while supporting kids, appreciating that each student has an ability—it’s not a paycheck, it’s a life-changing experience that leaves you feeling blessed
You know it was a great day in @FirstTNCORE when the CTE CORE Consultant, Pathways Regional Coordinator, TN Dept of Labor, American Job Center, and WIOA all sat down to discuss how we can work together to support students and workforce development! Great group & common goals!!
It was a pleasure to host Commissioner Schwinn @SchwinnTeach at @SHHS_JCS today. We are so proud of the work from our faculty, staff and students. #GoToppers#ExpectTheBest_JCS
Thanks David Crockett High School for introducing me to Myra Mains. SO COOL! Let’s get this type of opportunity everywhere! Thanks again to @jcityTNschools @SHHS_JCS for letting me see your incredible programs. #IloveTNstudents (so much!)

The Johnson City STEAM bus incorporates module-based activities within @jcityTNschools elementary schools. Marsha Salyer and Mike Crumley’s CTE students did an excellent job at applying project based learning when they designed the interior and exterior of the bus.
