Something special happens when teachers get together to plan and envision what our @MesaNbct will do to support teachers in @mpsaz. We have so many strengths in-house. Let’s start tapping on each other’s shoulders. @mshintonsainz @Laurencluff@AZTeacherMaria @Paulsenator
Our network board met yesterday and made plans to educate our district admin and governing board about the National Board process, infiltrate PD with the Architecture and What Book, and celebrate accomplished teaching in @mpsaz. #inspireMPS#amAZingNBCT@azk12
What worked in your classroom this week? I used a @Canva template for my students to develop a fictional character, and it turned out great! Also interactive notebooks are up and running-- here's to organization!
Want to teach English at the best middle school in the PV school district?
Want to teach SS AND SCIENCE? We’ve got you!
We need teachers!
School starts Tuesday. 😀😀😀
@Kinder_Jenni We are sure you aren't going to be a bad teacher... but as a thought experiment, what if you answered that question? What would you do next? If your answer is student-centered and with a growth mindset and grace for yourself, you got this!
@jcasap Yesterday my 7 year old asked me what I think she should be when she grows up. My response, “What problems do you want to solve?” She said she wasn’t sure but began to list everything she wants to be.. astronomer, chemical engineer, dog handler, scientist, teacher…
What are your favorite things to do at the beginning of the year to help build community in your classroom?
I want to shake things up a bit. I didn't love my approach last year.
Any @mpsaz teachers interested in National Board Certification, we will be having an in-district precandidacy class that meets once a month throughout the school year. We think this will be a very do-able and enjoyable way to get started and let things sink in over time! @azk12
The district acquired a grant from @discovercard which supports candidates by paying for components needing to be retake@, or AZK12 support events, etc.
