Yesterday we kicked off a new school year with our annual "Picture Day" as well as our first staff meeting of the year! Looking forward to a great year of learning throughout the Heart of Missouri!

This day is dedicated to covering the essentials for classroom strategies to support student behavior. If you're seeking solutions for addressing behavioral issues, this day will concentrate precisely on that! buff.ly/jd2sumR @mizzoueducation

LETRS Volume 2 Cohort 4 attended their Unit 5 session with Candice Robb in Room Q101 at the Rock Quarry Center, now the new Columbia Training Site for our Literacy Team. The day focused on Vocabulary best practices & learning. We are thrilled to be training at this new location!

Our Troy LETRS participants enjoyed a Unit 5 Vocabulary session with Candice Robb.  They learned a variety of new instructional strategies to enhance lexical quality for students, and how to purposefully select vocabulary words for direct instruction.  Go Trojans!!
