Highly effective teachers share their best practices
At the Nov. 6 principals’ meeting, Chief Elementary Schools Officer Chip Zullinger and his team of school support officers brought in some of the district’s most highly effective teachers to share their best strategies in the classroom.
Campus leaders heard from more than a dozen educators, such as Philma Thomas, a seventh-grade English language arts teacher at Woodson K–8. She attributes her success to the solid relationships she builds with students. “I am a firm believer that my students perform when they know that they matter,” said Thomas.
You can hear more from Thomas and many other educators in this related video, which was created to complement the session. All 75 principals under Zullinger’s supervision will be showing it to their faculty and staff in order to begin discussions on how to improve teaching and learning at their campuses.
