Middle Level Math Teacher Featured on Podcast
I had the pleasure of visiting Brandon's classroom during the IPS Center for Inquiry 84 Schools to Watch site visit. I was not surprised when he was one of three finalists for Indiana Teacher of the Year! He will be featured on Keep Indiana Learning's most recent podcast episode.
It will drop on this page sometime today. While you are there, you can check out the other episodes as well!
DISAPPOINTED THAT JAMBOARD IS GOING AWAY?
Indiana's own Matt Miller shares how you can use FigJam in ways that go even beyond what Jamboard can do. He also shares how to transition your resources from one platform to the other. Many teachers started using JamBoard during remote learning & continued using it when in-person school resumed.
THANKING OUR PRINCIPALS
There are several resources here for National Principals Month. You can even send customized e-cards. Thank you to all of our middle level principals for the special jobs they do!
Principals Interested in Participating in a Dissertation
Jennifer Zecher, dean at Harper Park Middle School in Loudon County, VA, is looking for principals with at least 3 years experience to particpate in her dissertation research. Her project will examine the perceptions and experiences of how middle and high school principals design and implement professional learning to reduce the problem of discipline disproportionality. Her contact information and more details are in the attachment below.
