VALOR
Dear Parents,
Your child’s teacher, [Name], has been selected to join the prestigious VALOR Academy at GCISD. This is an exciting new program that provides established, high performing teachers the opportunity to collaborate with other great teachers across the district to share innovative ideas, create new learning experiences, observe each other, and give and receive feedback to make their collective teaching practices even stronger.
Since collaboration and reflection will be essential to the success of this program, there will be a number of other teachers and district staff present in your child’s class from time to time. These people are here to observe the teachers, not the students. In addition, district personnel will be recording learning experiences in the VALOR classrooms throughout the year. These recordings will only be used for instructional purposes in the district and will not be publicly available in compliance with FERPA (Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act) regulations.
GCISD is redefining education because your child’s future matters today. Thank you for supporting us we continue to grow and provide your child the BEST!
John Doughney, Ed.D.
Executive Director of Learning
Grapevine-Colleyville ISD
