For Tier 1 to be what it should be, we must not lower the bar.
Our job in Tier 1 is to set the bar, make learners aware of the bar & what it takes to reach it, & then lift ALL learners to the bar.
Lowering anything amounts to nothing.
We raise the learners up instead.
Today was @BuncombeSchools 24/25 PD day. I had the pleasure of leading and learning alongside some wonderful educators to deepen our knowledge and plan for @WitWisdomELA. It's going to be a great year!
Yes! How we show up matters!
Kicking off August with @WitWisdomELA Launch training! I'm excited for these teachers to begin their journey teaching the curriculum in a few short weeks.
Great things were happening in @BuncombeSchools SRC at Haw Creek and Weaverville today as we wrapped up our first week! Students were writing using sentence patterning charts and practicing their decoding and encoding skills.
Today was great! Teachers are prepared and excited for students to arrive at Summer Reading Camp on Monday. Thank you to my amazing colleagues from @BuncombeSchools, Tsianina, Missy, and Cindy, for presenting today.

Observation and feedback without planning isn’t coaching. That’s evaluating.
Sitting alongside teachers for instructional planning is a critical component to coaching cycles. 1/2
Coach/Leadership friends,
Check out this opportunity to learn from Michael Bungay Stanier. This book is a great quick read for any coach/leader to build their own skills. Purchase it and you can join me!

It was a great morning at Glen Arden for Instructional Rounds! Students were engaged and collaborating to meet their learning goals.
I spent the day digging into @wilsonlanguage #Fundations with 2nd grade colleagues at Avery's Creek today. We had powerful conversations around instructional practices as a PLC that will support our students!
Our final day of @WitWisdomELA Guided Observations was at Estes Elementary. It was another great day seeing the amazing things happening in @BuncombeSchools classrooms!
Candler Elementary hosted our 2nd day of @WitWisdomELA Guided Observations. It was another great day seeing our @BuncombeSchools students building knowledge and skills. @JennReed23 @Dr_Rob_Jackson
It's always a great day when you spend time observing @WitWisdomELA lessons with @BuncombeSchools admin and instructional coaches. Thank you to Leicester Elementary for hosting.
Dr. Baldwin was the first one to believe in 22 year old me. I'm thankful he took a chance and hired me for my first job as a teacher.
This is such a great story: Reflections from a retired rural superintendent ednc.org/reflections-from-a-…

How will you show up as a fan today?
It was a great day of learning led by colleagues from @NCDPI_OEL who are passionate about the science of reading! #literacyforall
Seeing students engaged in their learning today at Estes was amazing. First graders completed their @WitWisdomELA Focus Question Task and created art to support it. #WeareBCS
Second graders were also engaged in organizing their thinking and discussing vocabulary during their @WitWisdomELA lesson.
