Currently, I am attending the Common Core Math Institute for 2013-2014. The purpose of this program is to: develop teacher content knowledge in Common Core and practices and develop teachers as leaders within their own school.
I use what is discussed in this program and implement them in my own classroom as well as sharing information with colleagues.

I am proud to be part of an Apple Distinguished school! We have been recognized for our implementation of digital writing and authentic application of personalized learning.
In my classroom, we are using the I-pads daily. We use google docs to share and collect information. We create I-movies and Educreations. We record our reading strategies through Corkulous. We use apps to guide us in math facts and science skills. Each student has also created their own online portfolio through weebly.

I was part of a great program through the University of Maryland. It was a writing collaboration. We modeled how to integrate writing in all subjects! In particular, we focused on writing and technology. People from the program also came and visited our classroom to gather new ideas. Dr. McCaleb spoke and recorded interviews with my students and myself throughout the course.
