Congratulations, Jessica and Carrie! Jessica and Carrie are both Math Instructional Coaches for Clinton Elementary. It was their idea to bring "Thinking Classrooms" to CCSD - a teaching approach that prioritizes active student engagement, critical thinking and problem solving by encouraging collaboration and open discussion. These two offer coaching cycles where they model lessons. The began with math and are now extending our Thinking Classrooms to literacy, science and social studies.

Whittier Instructional Coach for ELA
First response cont.: "That year really drove home the importance of forming deep, personal connections with students. The same is true in my current role as an instructional coach. Connecting with students and staff is at the front and center of any position. "
Flashlight reading is always a fun treat!
