🏁 Lap 1 will be complete in Zone 3 this week. Across every school, we clarified the why, examined instruction, provided high-leverage feedback, assessed ILT effectiveness, and defined next steps. #LearnLeverageLead

Educator & Scholar go hand-in-hand! Academic literature can sometimes be dense, but the research always gives me an opportunity to be introspective, creative and push my thinking! This is the life of a Doc student! #JourneyToDrCollins #ReadingOverload #ScienceEd #GAState #CEHD

It’s always a party when Scientists get together in the same room! I’m a little jealous the Science APs weren’t invited to the party 🤣 but I am excited to see the learning put into action!!!
Jagu-bears? Bear-guars? Tell our principals we can’t figure it out either. 🤷🏽😂 Always great working with @LewisJustyce ! 🐾🧡💙💛 #ScienceCoachLife @SandtownMS @BearCreekMS

During today’s faculty/staff meeting, everyone was tasked with writing a note to someone who embodies our core values…one of my teachers surprised me with this! This seat comes with great responsibility, and I’m so grateful to know the pouring is making a difference!

Our first Curriculum Night was full of engagement & excitement as we welcomed families with immersive experiences! Nonetheless, I will be filling a formal complaint against the 8th Grade Science Team because I should have won “Periodic Table Bingo!” #ScienceMatters #TheSTEMAP

Curriculum Night, but make it SCIENCE! 🧪🌎🧬 Our families got to experience Element Bingo, a Biodiversity Card Game & an Earth Layers Card Sort Competition! Hands-on learning + family fun + a little bit of friendly competition = a great night to be a Jaguar! 🐆🧡💙 @SandtownMS

Sneaking a picture of Ingram & Pickens-Jefferson having rich discussion around strategies to teach chemical bonding! Even with singletons, unit planning happens with fidelity when the right systems & structures are in place ! We’re working to keep raising the bar in HS PhysSci!

We make Science & Engineering Practices tangible for our scholars in every lesson - our 8th Grade Physical Scientists were Planning & Carrying Out Investigations!
Our 8th Grade High School Physical Science students are putting dissolution to the test - investigating how different factors affect how substances dissolve. 💧⏱️🚀 #LearningThroughExploration @SandtownMS
