I'm hoping to cultivate leadership skills and broaden my perspective around teaching as a profession. With my involvement with teaching, I'm hoping that my students will benefit from having thoughtful lessons and a variety of curricula exposure.
I think we'll continue the work around student conversation and math at Hillcrest

Hi! My name is Anna. I am excited to be back in TLF after a year off for maternity leave. This is my 4th year in the program. I am looking forward to reconnecting with the program and working with my lesson study team. I am also excited to learn from our PLC time and small group connecting time.

This year our lesson study team is focused on designated ELD time. We are exploring ways to structure and plan this time to so that our ELs will grow as readers and in their understanding of complex text (specifically how language works as well as wide/close reading of texts).

I am looking forward to connecting with teachers across the district and continuing the work started last year with my site team. I am hoping that the work we do this year will help to empower my students to know they can do hard things and that the year of covid has not broken them!
Our team is currently exploring Street Data in a book club format, looking at ways we can create actionable items as a result of the readings.
We plan to create one "public" lesson to be taught in a 1st grade class in the fall looking at number sense and how students use effective communication to explain/understand math thinking.

Each teacher in our group will implement PD for a small group of content-alike teachers that will improve teaching and learning connected to at least one of the following areas: culturally relevant curriculum and pedagogy, eliciting and centering student voice and ideas, creating meaningful relationships with students in ways that humanize the classroom. We will do this through PDSA.

Looking forward to growing my coaching practice, and documenting shifts in teacher beliefs and practices towards anti-racism that lead to joyful student learning!

I am excited to explore new subjects with Lesson Study. I've only experienced math-based inquiry cycles, and I've been really eager to try something new. We will be exploring PBL & Classroom Design, as well as literacy components.

We are exploring PBL with a literacy lens, and specifically focusing on reaching our students who have been least served by our school.
