Such a professionally rewarding week with principals, teachers and future teachers from University of Nebraska at Kearney! We should all be grateful for our educators who work so diligently to take care of the social, emotional and academic needs of our students!!

The first stack of SCHS Positive Postcards are going out! Thanks Kathy Kennedy, Ed.D. for the inspiration!

Inspirational week in Nebraska learning with students, teachers and administrators! Educators are so dedicated to their work and students! No better profession! ❤️❤️

A great day visiting Bladen County School. Executive Coaching with this superstar principal, Jason Folsom. When visiting classrooms, do you leave a hand-written note? If we expect teachers to provide immediate feedback to our learners, we must model the way just like Me. Folsom!

Honored to be on the team with teachers and admin from Ne Institutional Schools over the past few years to witness their transformation! The presentation to the Ne State Board of Ed today by Supt Scott English and Principal Seth Lutz was heartfelt and worth replicating! ❤️

Such a joy to observe teachers and the instructional coach/administrators collaborating about teaching and learning! This Schuyler Middle team nailed their coaching sessions the past two days! Bright futures!

Executive Coaching allows us to visit spectacular teachers and practice spotting teaching and learning moves, have hallway calibration conversations and vertically align instructional language. Thanks Schuyler Warriors and Schuyler Middle for an energizing visit!

A wonderful way to end the week. The Teacher Scholars at UNL are smart, dedicated and will be amazing future teachers! Their students will be fortunate to cross their paths. Thanks Braden Foreman for hosting this series focused on evidence-based instructional strategies!

A delightful Zoom day focused on CORE’s Reading Fundamentals with wonderful educators from Boston City Public Schools. I’m so inspired when teachers & leaders take time from their busy schedules to focus on learning ways to deliver even better instruction to their students!

Thank you Stephanie Norris and Bladenboro Primary for hosting the BCS Curriculum Specialists and me on Friday. We spotted so many great instructional moves from amazing teachers. Happy and engaged learners made our hearts smile! Go team!

It’s always such a joy to visit Schuyler Middle and Schuyler Warriors - such great opportunities to observe expert teachers having such a profound impact on student learning! It’s also cool to see their leaders immersed in learning ways to support these expert teachers! ❤️ this work!

Enjoyed joining these Santa Paula Unified administrators to lean more about leading literacy in their schools/district. Thanks Consortium on Reading Excellence for the invite! Great people with passion for the work!

Fabulous joint meeting between Schuyler Warriors and Schuyler Middle discussing evidence-based instructional strategies. Thanks Supt. Hoesing and Shirley Vargas for joining us. Thanks teachers for demonstrating these strategies in your classrooms! Still pumped!

Always a special treat to join Schuyler Warriors and Schuyler Middle for a few days of learning and collaboration. Talk about school pride and support for peers…the primary, elem, middle and high schools lined up to send best wishes to their State bound soccer team! Go Warriors!

It's your last chance! Explore why “try harder,” “read more,” and finding the right book rarely work for #students who have struggled for years. Review what it takes to replace poor #reading habits with efficient and motivating reading strategies. ubnd.org/3J4zy4G

Fabulous day of professional learning E. M. Honeycutt Elementary School with the amazing Kathy Kennedy, Ed.D. ensuring learning for all, optional for none.

Thanks Mr. Keyes for hosting me! What a fun day with you and your great educators! The E. M. Honeycutt Elementary School team is top notch! Their commitment to excellence is heartwarming and encouraging….students are in good hands! ❤️

How adorable are these Bladen County School Assistant Principals? Gave them my phone to take a picture of a note we wrote to a teacher during our coaching calibration session…..they decided selfies were just as much fun! Dr. Jason Atkinson Cheryl Smith
