To be a better writer you need mentors. I write alongside students so they see and hear my writing process- from my wordy & disorganized first drafts to polishing my final drafts. I also meet with students individually on their own work. It’s taxing but the growth is impressive

Loved visiting classrooms and working with teachers Oak Hill School. Grade 1 students setting the foundations for addition and subtraction in upcoming chapters. How many ways can we think of 95? Can you see the foundations for subtraction? Yeap Ban Har think! Mathematics

‘So proud of Sarah Ellen Williams for presenting on the integration of social studies and STEAM at the TN State Social Studies Conference to a full house of educators from across the state!@OakHillSchoolTN

GREAT session by Sarah Ellen Williams sharing how she incorporates science standards w/ SS content. i.e. Students build Roman “aqueducts” to learn about gravity + water control. Dependent/control variables to teach mummification. Don’t leave out SS in STEM/STEAM initiatives!#TCSS19

I’m learning so much! Can’t wait to bring this knowledge back to Oak Hill School

Traveling a lot for work people think the life is exotic. Usually a nice dinner is about as exotic as it gets. However, in Nashville last week--so why not: Hot Chicken, backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, and live music a plenty.

Last week our school’s observation team was trained by Craig Randall of Craig Randall and it was transformative! We are excited about our new approach to teacher growth!

Making gingerbread houses in kindergarten is such a precious Oak Hill School tradition!

Drafting is an essential part of the writing process but is also a step that students dread. Today we worked in 8 minute rounds to provide focused, purposeful feedback to help each of us improve!

I love this place! Oak Hill School Your teachers never cease to amaze me! #dedication #differentiation #positiveattitude #weteachmath #mathtrainer @MissSarahStorey JustineMarieBruyère

Evaluating a lesson’s design qualities seems tedious, but it is a valuable tool for teachers to confirm that their lessons are effective and engaging for students

Always a controversial subject, particularly as students get older. edutopia.org/article/whats-…

Just saw this book on Martha’s desk! Oak Hill School x.com/peterhreynolds…

Students' number sense often declines when they are introduced to algorithms - they often become laser focused on those and stop making sense. Most algorithms are introduced way too early and they stop sense making. x.com/MrTravisDrake/…
