So grateful to spend another year with the professionals of Butler University EPPSP, specifically cohort 43! In session 1 of RISE certification and training, we discussed legislation, evaluator bias, and Domains 1 and 3. Dr. Brian Dinkins EPPSP Butler University Keep Indiana Learning CIESC

On session 2 with cohort 43, we spent the evening diving into Domain 2 of the RISE rubric, capturing what the competencies “look and sound like” in a classroom, and comparing Highly Effective and Effective ratings! Dr. Brian Dinkins Keep Indiana Learning CIESC

This morning, I was able to spend time teaching on the “Building Blocks of PLC” to the staff of the Clark Pleasant Early Learning Center! We had movement, great content and discussion! We started the day with consensus placemats! 💙 Clark-Pleasant Early Learning Center Keep Indiana Learning CIESC

We utilized the space in the sweet preschool/pre-k hallway to generate ideas on how the components of PLC will positively impact this Early Learning staff! This team worked hard! Clark-Pleasant Community School Corp. Keep Indiana Learning CIESC
