🎓✨ This week was nothing short of amazing! Jennifer Davis (4th grade teacher) and Stephanie Knowles (PE teacher) spent the week in Edmond diving into the Great Expectations Methodology—a powerful, research-based program designed to transform classroom culture and empower both teachers and students. GE is built on six key tenets: ✔️ High Expectations ✔️ Teacher Attitude and Responsibility ✔️ All Children Can Learn ✔️ Building Self-Esteem ✔️ Climate of Mutual Respect ✔️ Teacher Knowledge and Skill They also learned the 8 Expectations for Living and 17 classroom practices that will serve as a strong foundation as they bring GE back to their classrooms. We’re so excited to see the positive impact this training will have on our school community! 🌟 #GreatExpectations #EmpoweredEducators #LifelongLearning #AllChildrenCanLearn #PositiveClassrooms

We're learning powerful strategies and gaining fresh insight into what it truly takes to improve all children’s learning. From building strong collaborative teams to focusing on results, this conference is reinforcing the importance of working together to ensure every student succeeds. We are excited to take what we've learned back to our school and continue growing alongside colleagues for the benefit of our students! #PLCConference #AllMeansAll #LifelongLearner #StudentSuccess
