Here's to a learning culture in which feedback is seen as a tool for building the future. (Via leader @BrianHullPE)

We had lots of fun at the ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday for the new pickleball courts. Our Wildcats and their talents were on display!! #WildcatPride #WeAreForestGlen @BCPSNorthRegion @DrFlem71

School culture is built moment by moment, interaction by interaction. (Reminder via leader @EmilyAPaschall)

Teachers have three loves: love of learning, love of learners, and the love of bringing the first two loves together. #Education #teachers

Here’s to the power of productive struggle! 🌟

@MsJohnsonBCPS @Forestglen_ms @BCPSNorthRegion Love to see Ms. Oge supported by the best team around!!! Also, love to see our former Wildcat teachers come back as Instructional Facilitators to support the Glen! #onceawildcatalwaysawildcat

Creating a strong instructional foundation with student success at the forefront for this planning session! #growth #guidance @Forestglen_ms @BCPSNorthRegion

“Children don’t wake up in the morning thinking, ‘How can I make my teacher’s life difficult today?’ Every behavior is a form of communication — a message about hunger, exhaustion, fear, or unmet needs. When we look beyond the behavior and listen with empathy and compassion, we see the emotion and the story beneath — and that’s where true teaching, connection, understanding, and healing begin.”

At Forest Glen, we use Cross-Curricular PLCs to support all teachers in infusing literacy strategies in their classrooms. Loved watching teachers working together as we shared strategies for activating background knowledge across content areas! It was a great morning!

We see you LEAD cohort 25/26! You are relentless with your efforts in volunteering to support district initiatives. It hasn’t gone unnoticed and we are proud of you. You are leading by example. 👏🏾❤️

Lucky to spend Saturday at the 2025 TIES Expo! Saw amazing speakers, spent great time chatting with my LEAD family, and had the privilege of taking part in the amazing Women's Leadership panel. Love being part of keeping Broward at the forefront of ed tech innovation!
