Last week, our DES teachers met together with math and literacy facilitators, Maralyn Faulkenberry and Jill Collins, along with building and district level administrators. Teachers celebrated students’ growth and achievement while disaggregating data, and worked collaboratively to make instructional decisions. The “Friends” themed meeting served as a fun reminder that much like the characters in the show, we are all surrounded by a strong network of support.
