Becoming is Better Than Being!

Last week I had the chance to attend a Teach Like a Champion Training focused on Behavior and Culture.  It was an amazing experience and Ms. Covington and learned so much that we can't wait to share the information with with you.  Many times, school leaders want to wait and begin to share new learning with staff at the start of the following school year.  I am too excited to wait and want to share a few things over the coming weeks, through the blog, just to help you enhance your current instructional practices.

This week I want to draw your attention to Building Radar and Be Seen Looking.

Please read the following passage and watch the two video links by Sunday, April 22nd! 

Here are some thoughts to focus on while reading and viewing:

What are you already doing?
What would you like to incorporate?
How do you feel these practices can impact your room?

 We'll be adding on to this knowledge and having some fun with these next week.

I have missed everyone and am looking forward to an awesome week at TCEA!  - Angela

• State TOY Banquet honoring Mrs. Samuelson will be held Friday, April 20th. Be sending good vibes and prayers her way!!
