Getting these 4th graders ready to write an Extended Constructed Response. Let’s first have them identify the characteristics of an ECR and then we’re going to dive into writing an essay. ✍🏼 @GISD4EBs @GISDTLD @GISD4SI

Way to go detectives! 🕵️

Winning Mega District of the Year at #TABE2024 was a huge honor! #WeAreUnmatched @summit_k12 @gisdnews

The 2nd grade teachers at Caldwell El did a great job of closing out the Greek Mythology Unit with a live museum! Such a great way to have the students reflect on their learning! @GISDTLD @GISD4SI

Let’s find some text evidence! 🔎🕵🏽‍♂️. Students at Carver El. used @Seesaw to read the text and respond to questions. Way to get them ready for their SCRs and really enforce the TEK!

Our Science IDF, Jennipher, did an amazing job of leading our area coaches through a WDM simulation. Such great information was given and even better conversations were had! #CoachTheCoaches #AlexanderArea #CoachingResources

So happy for these ladies at Vial Elementary for presenting over TELPAS and introducing the ALL NEW TELPAS stations to their campus. I can’t wait to see all their hard work in action! @GISD4EBs

Coaching Cohort 2 is now in the books! These area coaches did a great job of using Bambrick, The Waterfall and the Coaching Reference Guide documents to create a script to effectively coach a teachers. Lots of great learning was had. #AlexandersArea

@GISD4SI @Weaver_Eagles

Shoutout to Ms. Norwood at Weaver for bringing in Sheltered strategies with her Academic Sentence frames and collaborative grouping. We love to see it! #EveryLessonEveryDay

Exchange Day for two please! We were small but mighty! These two high school teachers loved learning how they could use the Sheltered Instruction strategies with their students. Great conversations had. @GISD4EBs @GISD4SI #EveryLessonEveryDay

Co-Teaching with one of my favorite teachers today! She’s stepping outside her box to ensure her students are getting some great English instruction. So proud of you Mrs.Barbera! @GISD4EBs #DualLanguage #ShelteredInstruction

First Coaching Cohort with our amazing area coaches! Great conversations were had and the coaches loved being able to practice their feedback scripts.

⁦Learning was in the air ⁦@ClubHill_Cougar⁩ ! Teachers had systems in place for students to be independent while they assessed! Paras were monitoring and fostering meaningful conversations with students! Way to go! #gisdprek ⁦@GISDTLD⁩

Nonverbal Mats! Yes please! Such a great way for students to respond to a question during a lesson. It lowers the affective filter for all and is a quick check for the teacher. Choose one of the options, attach a clothespin for student responses and boom! #SIStrategy @GISD4EBs

These 5th grade students at Carver El. were speaking, listening, reading and writing during their station rotation today! Being intentional about implementing the 4 Language Domains will help these students be successful! #EveryLessonEveryDay @GISD4EBs

These little construction workers in Ms.Chairez’s class were busy composing and decomposing numbers today. Loved how she encouraged students to use complete sentences when responding and had students collaborating together. @GISD4EBs #ShelteredInstruction #WilliamsElementary

We are relentless in overcoming any obstacle! HG PreK students are eager to achieve great things. #GISDprek @GISD4EBs @delcinw @Misswilson980 @HGES_Roadrunner @Emzdrmz @ChasityDBass @fwang_f

Huge Shoutout to Mr.Williams at Toler El. for incorporating Collaborative Mats into his science lesson! Such a great way to get your students talking to one another and using academic language! @GISD4EBs #ShelteredInstruction #EveryLessonEveryDay

Love seeing the hands on lessons and supports from Williams El.; One of our SAIL campuses. Way to start the second week of school! @GISD4EBs
