Our teachers are working hard at implementing strategies that are discussed during collab planning and our afternoon PD sessions. Ms. Richard did a great job asking higher order questions during the We Do and Ms. Robinson was using the 3 Reads Protocol during her math lesson.

When the first teacher you coached as an Instructional Coach steps up at the math professional development…your heart melts! I feel like a proud mama. 🥰😁 Felecia Sirmans

Check out Ms. Ormsbee implementing what she learned at the district K-2 Math Manipulatives training. I love that she modeled some of the tasks and strategies during collaborative planning and the team immediately added them to the lesson plan. 💚 Mathematics HCS Bethlehem Elementary
