Better Together




Teachers know there is strength in numbers.  Collectively, we bring more to the table than we do independently.  Today I had the spectacular opportunity to witness a team of first grade teachers, reading teachers, an instructional coach, building administrator, AEA staff, and an MTSS program leader collaborate unlike any team I've seen before.  


MTSS program leader, Lisa Drinkall(center) works with teachers at a recent meeting.

The room was filled with intention, expertise, and sincerity as these educators worked on reviewing screeners and diagnostic assessments.  The second layer of their work was to organize the data from the diagnostics to make instructional decisions for intervention groups at Wilkins Elementary. 


Teachers in this meeting now have specific phonemic awareness skills instruction planned to meet the needs of students during Pride Time.
