There’s something so exciting about brand new teachers’ classrooms and watching them get it ready all summer long. So much wonder. So much self-drive. So much innocence.
The sad part is when we see a new teacher lose that because they don’t feel supported during their first year.
Support your new teachers.
🔺Check on them daily.
🔸Model lessons for them.
🔺Provide them an automatic coaching cycle with the instructional coach on day 1.
🔸Provide specific feedback.
🔺Model the first phone call home.
🔸Pre-plan their first parent conf and do it with them.
🔺Simply ask, “How can I help?” And ask often.
Teachers will be more likely to stay in the profession when they feel supported. Plain and simple.
What did I miss?

MCSS PRINCIPAL OF THE YEAR! This week, Mr. Adam Hampton received this honor from his peers at the system’s Summer Leadership Academy. Mr. Hampton joined Owens Cross Roads School in 2017, following three years of service as Assistant Principal at New Hope School.

‘Twas the night before ACAP, when all through the house,
all the creatures are stirring, including my spouse.
The anchor charts were removed, from the wall with care,
in hopes that the learning still would be there.
Yes! So thankful for you @DeannaPowers and all you’ve taught us this year in morphology 👏🏻

This group of educators @ocreagles continues to elevate learning with an OGAP Fractional PLC. What a fun, dedicated, and engaging group of educators. Love how admin models sense making and persevering! @AmstiUAH @AlabamaAchieves @AMSTI4all @rtc0016
Illustrating this equation had us STUMPED all morning, but we finally tackled it!! Thankful for teammates who love problem solving, and who get as excited as I do when we make connections together. 🤩
I was struggling with a math concept today, and my FABULOUS teammate spent her lunch working to explain it to me. I can’t express how it warms my heart to work with someone who is invested in my growth and finds joy in my learning. ❤️ @MrsLands_ @ocreagles @AmstiUAH

As a New Year’s Resolution, I’m challenging our students across all grade levels to read more books in 2022. The benefits of reading create endless possibilities for their futures. Join me in encouraging our youth to pick up books outside of class time. #alpolitics

I imagine the North Pole has a team of retired first grade teachers who decipher the handwriting and spelling and the elves treat them like the phonetic code breaker geniuses they are.
