This is what I get to do!! GMS was one of my five schools last year. This is ONE year of REFUSING to accept the status quo!!!! It was an honor working with Jared, Brandon, and Megan to make this happen!! I am so proud!! And so excited to continue the fight!
Last Fall HOME event is tomorrow 10/28. We have our doubleheader Football games! It’s a PINK OUT & it’s Senior Night for Football (before game), Poms, Cheer & Band (at Halftime). Come out & support our teams and seniors! All tickets on GoFan! Let’s Go ‘Rines!
Some educators are the “cool teacher” simply because they are naturally cool people. Their ability to connect well with students is not fake, forced, or phony, it’s just them.
My current pondering: I’m starting to hate the term “differentiation” because it means we didn’t plan a lesson with all of our students in mind to begin with. Does “differentiation” allow us to blame the Other/“lesser” students who don’t fit how we think students should learn…?
BIG day @ The Village! Dr. McKnight & @brendawolff1 got to see what LEARNING and LOVING looks, sounds and FEELS like at our school. Extremely proud of our staff and the work we put in to get to this point! #loveyourvillage@MCPS
Not only are our student-athletes talented on their playing surfaces, they are talented off! Love the duck hat and dinosaur made by 11th grader, A. Bender!!
Amazing day @ the Village. Started with new student/parent orientation and ended with our Back to School Jam. We hosted hundreds of community members ALL DAY. Our Village showed up and showed out! #loveyourVillage#villagestrong
Kid scores 100% on a retest... Only given a 70%. For what possible justification do we put scores in the gradebook that do not match what a student knows?
There is no average time to learn something. Punishing students for taking longer to learn something seems archaic
Nearly 30 members of our Village came out early in a Saturday morning to beautify our grounds. Students, parents and staff! Campus clean and ❤️ full! THIS is what building a village is all about! #LoveyourVillage#villagestrong@MCPS@MCPSTV@mcpsvolunteers
