Supporting my ELA team this morning at the #HCS_ReadAThon Finale: Preventing Summer Slide. @ELA_HCS

Happy NY2026! We kicked off the year with another amazing professional development in Secondary ELA. I want to give another huge shout out to all of our presenters, who always do a phenomenal job. I am so grateful for your support. The ELA team could not do this without you.

Another successful PD day! So grateful for our amazing Literacy leaders for sharing facilitating the Secondary ELA sessions today and sharing their expertise. *Pics do not represent all presenters.

Planning for Unit 2… anchor charts and creating an engaging gallery walk for students to have exposure to multimodal texts! @dgould3844 thank you for ensuring learning experiences are engaging and aligned to the rigor of the standards! @ELA_HCS

Late post, but I want to thank all of my amazing colleagues for presenting on PD days. You guys were amazing, and I am truly grateful for your support of me, the secondary ELA team, and all of the Henry County middle and high school ELA teachers. @ELA_HCS #henryreads

ELA students and teachers at @SMS_HCS started the year strong—establishing norms and using a Writable pre-assessment to gather meaningful baseline data📊 Looking forward to a wonderful year of learning!✨️📚 #henryreads #readyday1 @YvetteChristi16 @amanda_hanie @ELA_HCS

@MsEducatorRJ @Ms_Snoddy1 @RashetaWright @WHS_HCS @GiftedELAGuru Thank you guys so much! I hate that I was not able to be there to support you, but I know you rocked it! Same time in November? 🙂

@Ms_Snoddy1 @RashetaWright @WHS_HCS @GiftedELAGuru @BSmithHCS I'm so happy we could present together today! Teamwork makes the dream work. 🤗❤️🐺

ELA DC @RashetaWright and I represented @WHS_HCS at the first PL session for ELA teachers! Teachers received PD on planning rigorous questions and establishing norms so students feel safe to ask and answer questions in the classroom. #AcceleratingImpact @GiftedELAGuru @BSmithHCS

Loving today’s learning with our regional middle and high school educators! #engagement #intention #craft #collaborationandpresentation #situatingtext

Had to stop and admire this beautiful #BlackHistoryMonth2025 artistic display @LGHS_HCS.

Our @ARE_HCS took 1st place for their version of "Little Red Riding Hood!" Congratulations to Ms. Tania Brown and her amazing students! #literacyinHCS #LiteracyDaysCompetition @ELA_HCS

@DrMilesk31 @GiftedELAGuru Can't wait!

@BSmithHCS @GiftedELAGuru It’s incredible! Two of the most exceptional educators I know are presenting at #LitCon2025. Now, I’m curious to know if we could collaborate and present at GCSS or NCSS. #BetterTogetherHCS

This is an extremely exciting day for me. You know I don't take pictures of myself, but I'm here, in Ohio, with one of the best educators I've ever had the pleasure of working with, presenting at LitCon2025! #TheLiteracyBlueprint #fortheloveofreading

@GiftedELAGuru led our HCS Principals through an engaging PL session on the structural shifts of the New GA ELA K-12 standards at today's Compass Meeting. #change #newELAstandards #Henryreads #forward @ELA_HCS @AkbarEducates @KeshaMuhammad3

Congratulations and well-earned honors to Flippen’s fabulous 1st place winners; Zion Lee (poetry) and Allon Robinson (writing) in the Henry County School Literacy Exhibition. We are proud of you! . @FLE_HCS @ELA_HCS @HenryCountyBOE #LiteracyDaysinHenry

@MsAErickson @kennesawstate Congratulations! 🎉

So, I never shared the good news, but in November I was accepted into the EdS in Secondary and Middle Grades Education program at @kennesawstate I wasn’t sure if I was going to accept but my seniors provided me with some very good reasons to do it. They inspire me every day 🥰

New Georgia ELA Standards PD Session 1 was a success @ELHS_HCS today. A HUGE shoutout to our amazing presenters and secondary ELA teachers for a fantastic day of learning. #newELAstandards #Henryreads #jepl

Really excited about the increased support for adolescent learners from the GA DoE. @ELA_HCS @GiftedELAGuru @GaDOEELA #newGeorgiaK12standards

We went, we saw, we learned! @Griffin_RESA @GaDOEELA @BSmithHCS @GiftedELAGuru New ELA standards training (K-5) was interactive and right on time!

I am thankful for a district that puts literacy at the forefront of this work. I am super proud of students who worked hard to memorize and recite their poems today for Literacy Days. Thankful to judges who came to support us. @ELA_HCS @Timberridge_HCS #HenryReads
