Magical Moment "SPOTLIGHT" - Guided Math Pilot Teachers - Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Engebretson, Mrs. Grulich, and Ms. Zuluaga
This week's Magical Moment Spotlight is on the fearless, dedicated, and exceptional teachers who took on the instructional challenge of being a part of Skyline Feeder Pattern's Guided Math Pilot this school year! These teachers have been the model classrooms in their first year of implementation of the Guided Math Program in Dallas ISD! They have not only participated in monthly professional development sessions, they graciously and fearlessly opened their classrooms to many other educators for learning walks. They embraced the new teaching style, implemented the instructional model with fidelity, accepted feedback, made ongoing changes to perfect their craft, and the ultimate benefactors were our Guzick Giants. I am so very proud of each of you for taking the instructional leap of faith and coming out as WINNERS! Did I mention that the creator of the Guided Math Pilot, Reagan Tunstall, visited their classrooms to observe the implementation of her program and was highly IMPRESSED!
