Essential Standards Work by Teams
Teachers dive into the work of essential standards and unit planning at Reed Elementary. Shown here are teachers with Michael McWilliams (Mack) of Solution Tree.
This process is phase 2 of the work anchored to the summer professional development in July. It also ensures that teachers have layers of support for the following: planning for instruction, deeper dive with curriculum standards, standards cross walked to district supplied resources and materials to maximize opportunities in classroom instruction.
Dr. Vivian Evans, principal, Mrs. Takyra Williams - Hampton and Ms. Yolander Brown (not pictured) are also present and on site to be hands on in the process so that teachers have shoulder partners with the work and steps ahead.
Katlin Hogue, DESE Math Specialist housed in SE AR Educational Cooperative, visited Reed Elementary classrooms on today. Her first visits included Ms. Kristen Beedle, 1st grade and Mr. Caleb Lampkin, 2nd grade.
Dumas Public School District’s desire is to ensure that we are on the cutting edge of mathematical practices! We are glad to have Ms. Hogue with us as a part of the team.
Dr. Vivian Evans and Ms. Yolander Brown joined Ms. Hogue on the classroom walks and observed students learnings and take aways.
Teamwork makes it possible!
