"We Wanna Grow Our Own!!!"
Archie Scott, Principal
Lindsey Thomas, Assistant Principal
Tiffany Johnson, 1st Grade Teacher
Shannon Pappas, 4th Grade Teacher
Presentation Summary: You walk into your class and just walking in the door screams uncertainty. I don't really know what I'm doing. You may be a new "beginning teacher" or a seasoned "5-year plus veteran." With all this sudden feeling of incompetency you ask, "What do I do? Where do I go? When is the next PD that can possibly help? Do I know of someone who I feel will understand and help me work through this? Should I let anyone know? Whoa! I may be having a work-related breakdown." You have peers! They have your back! That's why we're here. We have things to show. You have a place where you might go to grow!
Winds West Elementary School
"Embracing the Journey of Peer Coaching"
Nancy Ingle, Principal
Kathleen Willbourn, 3rd Grade Teacher
Erica Wiszneauckas-Reeves, Kindergarten Teacher
Presentation Summary: Too often we feel like teaching is a journey we take by ourselves. Peer coaching provides us with the strategy and the means to surround ourselves with good company. Traveling through self-discovery and building relationships requires validation, recognition, reflection and a solid plan for implementation.
