Tracking this year’s graduates.

Enjoyed hosting and collaborating with principals from additional TCAN schools. We calibrated on instructional observations, procedures, and data analysis.

Our teachers are the reason our students graduate! #TeacherAppreciateWeek

Carnival Night at TCA Lancaster. It’s always great to meet our parents, our most important stakeholders.

I enjoyed the numerous gifts and encouraging notes from my staff this week. It is an honor to work alongside teachers and staff who care deeply about the futures of our students.

My son and his team had a great game last night!

The afternoon session provided teachers with options to learn from their peers about collaborative strategies, graphic organizers, data-driven instruction, and fun games that they can use with their students.

Training teachers on using data rosters to identify key students. We also learned several strategies to support the TELPAS domains.

TCA Lancaster teachers living off the year with a fun team-building exercise. Teams enjoyed working together to write positive words.

Valuable conversations on using student data to improve instruction by the Fort Worth TCA recently. Both campuses shared data and strategies for how to reteach and improve outcomes for our students going forward. #TexansCanAcademies #DDI

Proud of my son, who just passed a major statistics test today at his college.

I love visiting my teachers’ classes!Today I observed #collaboration with students peer editing each other’s written responses, Quizlet Live to review math concepts. I also saw #notetaking strategies such as Talk-Read, Talk-Write, and graphic organizers.

FYI, rainfall in our part of North Texas was 13.8 cm. That’s about 5.5 inches for those who do not use the metric system. (You pagans!)

Lots of great instructional practices going on at @TexansCanFW with teachers using collaborative groups, student-generated summaries, assessing individual students literacy through @noredink and social contracts. It’s been a great first week for our students!

The most precious gift you can give someone is your time. Spend some of it connecting with those close to you today. Speaking as one who lost his brother to suicide, take time to connect and care for the people in your life. #robinwilliams

I really enjoyed introducing the teachers @TexansCanFW Lancaster campus to close-reading, collaborative strategies, inquiry, and C.H.A.M.P.S today! In fact, I would say that they are going to be champions of these new strategies this semester. #dadjoke

Kick off to instructional collaboration for Fort Worth Texans Can network with a giant game of rock, paper, scissors!
