Early Literacy Boot Camp 24-25 was a huge success! I’m incredibly grateful for the KCS Literacy team and their abundant knowledge and passion! Together, we experienced an amazing opportunity to support literacy leaders in KCS! @KCSliteracy
An afternoon well spent— reflecting on the change agents and planning next steps in this continuous cycle of improvement to fulfill the KCS literacy vision for ALL students. We are so thankful for our dedicated department chairs!
I was honored today to celebrate principals for their dedication to high-quality instruction that yields student learning. IPG game balls were awarded to @MrSmith_LES and @DeniseWatts for their leadership commitment and partnership in the work! @KnoxSchools
Kindergarten, first and second grade students @smgmagnet actively engaged in applying their knowledge of sound spelling correspondences through building words and reading connected text! #kcsregion5@kcsliteracy@robindcurry1@dextermurphy
Leaders, we know the importance of culture. But it isn’t something that can be cultivated by talking about it. Cultivating culture requires a significant investment in people - every single day. #joyfulleaders#LeadershipMatters#CultureMatters
What a privilege to work with such caring and dedicated educators striving to improve outcomes for students! And props to our outstanding department chair, Mrs. Lindsey Chapman
