Bearden Elementary welcomed Riley the Reading Raccoon for #LiteracyMonth, showcasing exceptional K-2 reading instruction! 👏 Thank you to @TNedu for recognizing our students and educators for their commitment to literacy.
🎬 Rehearsing lessons…on a Saturday?! You bet! We are so grateful for this group of literacy leaders who are committed to the KCS vision that literacy is a deserved right for ALL students.
This weekend rounded out the completion of the 2024-2025 Elementary Literacy Bootcamp. These educators modeled a continuous improvement mindset and grew as literacy leaders! @KnoxSchools
Literacy leaders from KCS had the pleasure and honor of presenting at #learnfwd24! We are incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication to literacy success!
Literacy is a deserved right, and we are proud of our Lonsdale teachers prioritizing small group foundational literacy instruction! @MrSmith_LES
Inspired by the dedication of these teachers, coaches, and principals who spent Saturday learning about syllables, practicing lessons, and discussing alignment of instructional routines across K-3! 📚✏️ #elbc24 #deservedright
Great job @ABESCardinals! Strong foundational literacy instruction is key for student reading success!
Providing an explicit model for the phonological awareness portion of the lesson means these @ABESCardinals 1st grade teachers practice what that sounds like in order to internalize high-leverage teacher moves anchored in the science of reading #successforall 📖 #region4
Great work @CopperRidge1! Together we can ensure all students are skilled readers!
It’s always a great day of learning @CopperRidge1 when the incomparable Krista Lee leads our PLCs. Lesson Internalization + Intellectual Preparation = Strong Tier 1 Instruction. #cougarstrong #Region4 #accessforall @erinphillipstn @CWhite_KCS @adpark3737 @shawnsmith85

Early Literacy Boot Camp 24-25 was a huge success! I’m incredibly grateful for the KCS Literacy team and their abundant knowledge and passion! Together, we experienced an amazing opportunity to support literacy leaders in KCS! @KCSliteracy
Day 1 ✅ Today’s learning centered around the reading brain 🧠, the intentional design of TN standards based on science of reading 📖, and the systematic scope and sequence of our educative HQIM. #literacyforALL #learnunlearnrelearn #ELBC24
An afternoon well spent— reflecting on the change agents and planning next steps in this continuous cycle of improvement to fulfill the KCS literacy vision for ALL students. We are so thankful for our dedicated department chairs!
