Today we kicked off our first day of Curriculum Based Professional Learning for our new ELA resource, Wonders. These second grade teachers experienced a lesson rehearsal and are working hard internalizing an implementation plan. @CobbPLearning
Just read this research study and was struck by this line, “The amount of interdependence in a [PLC] group of teachers makes the difference between storytelling and joint work.” link.springer.com/article/10…
From the Title IIA Symposium to the annual conference- meeting and networking with colleagues from across the country is one of the best parts of Learning Forward events. @LearningForward #learnfwd24
Love starting the day with a reminder of why we do what we do- it’s all about the students! @LearningForward #learningfwd24
Had a thought-provoking day learning from a legend! I expanded my definition of how to evaluate student learning outcomes and learned which PL standards impact teacher practice (resources & learning design) and student outcomes (outcomes & implementation) the most #learnfwd24
Found this insanely fun and simple closing activity you can use with students or adults. @CobbPLearning

Our second guest speaker is Cobb’s Teacher Leader Endorsement instructor (and Compton ISS) Tim O’Neill. Tim is relating how to effectively lead our peers and shared a great framework- the three C’s- care, competency, and consistency. #CTLA25

Today is our first school-year meeting date for Cobb Teacher Leader Academy. We’re so excited to hear from Growing Leaders’ Patrick Erwin, former Hillgrove teacher and CTLA grad! We’re digging in to Paradox 7 of The Eight Paradoxes of Great Leadership. #CTLA25
It has been a pleasure working with our talented NTA instructors. Today I sat in with the HS ELA group & thought about how much I would love this project as a student. As Supervisor of PL, it’s my joy to teach educators, but I relish learning from them just as much. #cobbNTA2024
Teaching is a combination of art, skill, and improvisation- just like good jazz. Thanks for sharing your talent with us today, Superintendent Ragsdale. @CobbSchools
What a treat to hear from @KevinPaulScott at Leadership Kickoff today. Purpose, partners and problems keep us inspired everyday.
I am so proud of all the district staff, teachers, and vendor partners who are making today a success! Thank you for your dedication to professional learning. @CobbPLearning #CobbSummerCon
All cheers for our Cobb InTech and Academics Conference today. Over 400 teachers, coaches, and administrators signed up to continue their learning this summer. #CobbSummerCon

Chris Ferrell, our Instrumental Music Supervisor, just shared a powerhouse leadership quote with us “Focus on what you can control, obsess over what you can influence” #CTLA25 @cobbPLearning
It’s National Title II-A Day of Action. Let members of Congress know how important Title II funding is for professional learning! learningforward.org/advocacy…

Just 5 minutes can have a big impact on students’ understanding. Try setting aside some time at the end of a class period for these educator-tested closing activities. 💯 ⏰ edut.to/4aj8wC4
ALT 27 Super-Smart, Teacher-Tested Closing Activities. Quick (and fun) strategies to check for understanding, reinforce learning, and identify misconceptions in the last moments of class.
This would be a strong CobbTank project contender in my opinion! @STEMTania @d_lanilovesmath @emilyecf comap.com/blog/item/math-tra…
All hugs and smiles at our Cobb Teacher Leader Academy graduation. Congratulations graduates! #ctla24
