Congratulations to all of our AMAZING RI educators being celebrated tonight at Waterfire Educator night! Special shoutout to my Coventry colleagues, Mike Cook, Beth Giblin, Tiffany Risch, and Grace Gregory! @ridepted @CoventryOakers

It was a pleasure to welcome our CHS SRO, Officer Kavanagh, in class to answer students’ questions @ ethical & legal questions. These students are future educators in our Foundations of Ed class. Great session! And we even had Principal Macomber join the convo! @CoventryOakers

So very proud of my amazing seniors for their pinwheel debate performance today. They are looking and sounding like college level students more and more each day. #oakerpride @CoventryOakers @OakerELA @coventryschools @RIDeptEd

Foundations of Education students are busy, busy this morning! They are researching and creating learning posters about components of 21st century learning. #collaboration @OakerELA @CoventryOakers @RIDeptEd

Each star represents a new student I get to guide this year. Ad astra per aspera! @CoventryOakers @OakerELA @RIDeptEd @studysync

Welcoming back our sophomore advisory and setting goals together for a great year ahead. #oakerpride @OakerELA @CoventryOakers @RIDeptEd

The CHS ELA faculty had a productive professional learning session this morning exploring the impact of generative AI on teaching and learning. It’s always an honor to facilitate learning with colleagues. @RIDeptEd @CoventryOakers @OakerELA

“Backpack is on, shoes are tied, all that's left is to go inside!" Today was our first day of school in Coventry. Teachers are ready to welcome students on Wednesday. Hoping for a terrific school year. ☀️ @RIDeptEd @CoventryOakers @OakerELA

Yesterday, I participated in the AI in Education conference at URI. The opening session was especially helpful in framing questions and pointing to pathways for thoughtful planning and communication around the impact of AI on teaching and learning. #keeplearning

Celebrating our last day of grade nine advisory before final exams next week! We love you all. Have a great summer! #oakerpride @OakerELA @CoventryOakers @RIDeptEd – at Coventry, RI

Good food for thought as we close out the school year and begin thinking about next year. @CoventryOakers @studysync @RIDeptEd @OakerELA

Congratulations and welcome to the RIToY family to my CHS colleague and friend, Michael Cook! You will represent RI teachers so well!! @RIDeptEd @OakerELA @coventryschools

Really proud of my senior students. They created some well-written, artsy, creative, original satire projects as a culmination to our Oscar Wilde unit. It's great to see them shine! They have social consciences and passion. It's my honor to guide them! @RIDeptEd @CoventryOakers

Project-based learning keeps everyone going, especially late in senior year! It is great to see students excited to craft their original satires (visual/written) as they prepare to share them in class next week. Fun start to the day for us all! @CoventryOakers @OakerELA @RIDeptEd

Period 5 seniors are rocking their “Decision Day” shirts this morning. These good people are off to great places! I will miss them when they graduate next month! #oakerpride @CoventryOakers @OakerELA @RIDeptEd

We took our students to a performance of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at URI. For many of the students, it was their 1st experience witnessing the magic of live theatre. Most reported on the ride home that they thoroughly enjoyed the production! @RIDeptEd @CoventryOakers @OakerELA

Students unleashed their creativity & confidence in our OTHELLO launch activity today on stage in our CHS auditorium, embracing the challenge of Shakespeare's language & transforming reading apprehension into artistic expression and laughter. @CoventryOakers @OakerELA @RIDeptEd

Today’s hexagonal thinking activity to wrap up BEOWULF was a great showcase of critical thinking and collaboration. Job well done, seniors. #oakerpride @OakerELA @CoventryOakers @RIDeptEd @studysync
