For Tier 1 to be what it should be, we must not lower the bar.

Our job in Tier 1 is to set the bar, make learners aware of the bar & what it takes to reach it, & then lift ALL learners to the bar.

Lowering anything amounts to nothing.
We raise the learners up instead.

Today was @BuncombeSchools 24/25 PD day. I had the pleasure of leading and learning alongside some wonderful educators to deepen our knowledge and plan for @WitWisdomELA. It's going to be a great year!

[Felicia Proffitt @fproffitt7]

Yes! How we show up matters!

[Jason Kennedy | Stop Teaching & Design Learning! @letsquitteachin]

Don't ask, "Will I make an impact today?"
We don't get that choice.
We WILL make an impact on the kids & adults we interact with.

Instead ask, "What kind of impact will I make?"

We can be the reason they want to come to school or the reason why they don't.
That's the choice.

Kicking off August with @WitWisdomELA Launch training! I'm excited for these teachers to begin their journey teaching the curriculum in a few short weeks.

Great things were happening in @BuncombeSchools SRC at Haw Creek and Weaverville today as we wrapped up our first week! Students were writing using sentence patterning charts and practicing their decoding and encoding skills.

[Felicia Proffitt @fproffitt7]

@BuncombeSchools RtA Camps are in full swing this week! I spent time at WD seeing our teachers and students in action today. Students were engaged as they worked on their decoding skills and building knowledge.

Today was great! Teachers are prepared and excited for students to arrive at Summer Reading Camp on Monday. Thank you to my amazing colleagues from @BuncombeSchools, Tsianina, Missy, and Cindy, for presenting today.

@BuncombeSchools is kicking off Summer Reading Camp with all staff this morning. It's a great group ready to make a positive impact on students.

[Felicia Proffitt @fproffitt7]

@MitchellBrookns Excited to read it!

[Felicia Proffitt @fproffitt7]

@BuncombeSchools Instructional Coaches spent time collaborating on how to leverage PLCs to have a greater impact on student learning outcomes this past week using the PLC+ book. I'm thankful to have amazing colleagues to continue to grow with!

Observation and feedback without planning isn’t coaching. That’s evaluating.

Sitting alongside teachers for instructional planning is a critical component to coaching cycles. 1/2

Coach/Leadership friends,
Check out this opportunity to learn from Michael Bungay Stanier. This book is a great quick read for any coach/leader to build their own skills. Purchase it and you can join me!

It was a great morning at Glen Arden for Instructional Rounds! Students were engaged and collaborating to meet their learning goals.

@BuncombeSchools BT3s are engaged in learning about how to use @ThinkingMaps in their classrooms today. Can't wait to see their follow-up application in the coming weeks! @Csass14

[Felicia Proffitt @fproffitt7]

@BuncombeSchools Instructional Coaches spent the morning hearing from the WVES coach and admin team about the powerful work they're doing with PLCs. #leadershipmatters

[Felicia Proffitt @fproffitt7]

I spent the day digging into @wilsonlanguage #Fundations with 2nd grade colleagues at Avery's Creek today. We had powerful conversations around instructional practices as a PLC that will support our students!

[Felicia Proffitt @fproffitt7]

Thank you @Leah_Carper for an inspirational keynote at the #NCRACON2024!
