Are you transforming learning in your classroom? Have the TIM-O and coaching cycle helped you mentor others at your school? Have you been recognized for being an innovative educator? Do you have a new tech tool that you've successfully implemented?

We would like to "Shine a Spotlight on Success" and see what is transpiring around the county within the Vanguard family. Please share your success stories with us! You may see your "Spotlight" in an upcoming Vanweekly!

Share Your Success!

NWLC Vanguard Leadership Team member, Jennifer Beard, will be leading our next #FCSVanguard Twitter Chat. The topic will be "Leveraging Technology Tools to Create Personalized Learning Experiences" and will take place on Thursday October 11, 2018 at 7:30 pm. Tweet @MsBeardsClass to let her know if there a question you hope she will pose during the chat. What resource(s) are you hoping to share or contribute to the conversation?

Extend the reach of your Vanguard Team by starting a Vanchise! Vanchise teams have the latitude to tackle any tasks and challenges that are related to Vanguard's mission.

The perks?

Collaborating with an amazing group of educators + $1,000 as a team to spend subject to the same rules as the regular stipend.

We are asking all of our Vanchises, new and returning, to complete the Vanchise application and set for themselves a single SMART goal aligned to our four pillars... TIMS. See the application for more details.
