I had an amazing time these past two days facilitating math sessions at the district’s Teaching and Learning conference. Teachers were engaged and excited to learn why the CRA strategy and fluency are necessary for conceptual understanding.

Teachers are important for student success but so are PRINCIPALS! The leaders in SCCPSS create a culture and environment of safety, support, and orderliness so that everyone in the building THRIVES! Those pictured do this well day in and day out. Happy National Principal’s Day!

I share a "meme of the day" that I personally made at the end of every lesson and this was today's and students liked it so much that several of them grabbed their phones to take a picture of it. 😅
