At the heart of a true Trojan Trailblazer is a simple but powerful belief: every Trojan can rise to the occasion when they have the right team behind them. This week's Trojan Trailblazer is not one person, it is one team - - a team committed to exploring the benefits of co-teaching in the ELA classroom!
True magic happens in the "we." Through intentional collaborative planning and co-teaching, this group of three (EL teacher, SPED co-teacher, and ELA writing content teacher) built a powerhouse alliance. Using Write Score as the foundation of their lessons and through collaboration with Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Lee, our sixth grade students were able to experience writing instruction in a unique environment by weaving together specialized expertise and core curriculum. When this type of collaboration is planned and implemented, we aren’t just "getting through" the material, we are actively differentiating to meet every learner exactly where they are.
When we collaborate, our Trojans conquer. We are proud these three teachers are members of our team that proves high expectations + high support = limitless potential as we strive to take our students to the #nextLevel!
We thank you - - Mr. Thomas, Ms. Lopez, and Coach G - - for your willingness to share ownership of the classroom to provide our students with the support they need to grow as writers!
