Hello, fellow #GSUEdLead colleagues! Part of my journey is connecting communities as a future school leader. Communication is a #1 priority in productive discourse, so I often turn to 'Smart Brevity'. Saying more with less moves the work forward. amzn.to/429rB6p

Vocabulary knowledge is 1 of the largest contributors to reading comprehension (RC). According to Stahl & Nagy(2006),vocabulary knowledge contributes 50-60% of the variance in RC. A consistent vocab instructional routine is a powerful tool every teacher needs in their tool box!

I love walking around the building and seeing these certificates outside the doors of the teachers who completed LETRS! Lexia Deidre Kinoshita Kerri-Ann Williams River Eves 🦅 📚

So much to celebrate at RNE this week! Many of our dedicated Ts in cohort 1 have finished all LETRS coursework! #RNEGreatThings 💚🎉💯 Angela Schafer

These S's are so engaged! Keep up the explicit instruction Mrs. Schultze!

As leaders, understanding cultural influences in judgment is necessary and a model for leading with empathy. We should always assume every individual comes from the space of trying to make sense of a situation. #GSUEdLead

Love seeing this active engagement and an internalized lesson where students own the process!

2nd grade T Hayleigh James & her class blowing me away on a Friday afternoon AFTER a Fun Run with their Heggerty skills! My favorite part was the Hero from yesterday doing the special bonus game if time allows. Ss say the sound & he says the letters! 😮 River Eves Deidre Kinoshita
