Honored to spend time with my undergrad advisor, Dr. Sharon O'Brien as she traveled after her recent retirement. She was an inspiration while I was @DickinsonCol (class of '90) and helped this coal miner's son see the beauty of the written word. A true teacher. Thank you Sharon

@MacMSPrincipal We strongly encourage it in our District for our new teachers through our mentor program. For all teachers, they use Swivl to record specific practices to collaboratively reflect upon as a department. (Recently "conferring" Re: Calkins.) Great tool for our instructional coaches.

I was humbled to walk with members of my Ph. D. cohort today. Here's to Jesse, Jill, and Trina. Important to remember that learning never ends and there's a place for tradition in our lives.

The PHS Math Department analyzes STAR, Practice ACT, and classroom standards data. They will use this data to adjust instruction and further prepare our students for college and career. #poynettepride
