Superintendent Page and system leaders present Clear Creek Elementary School and its fifth-grade math team, which consists of Beverly Hancock and Ashton Russell with the most prestigious award given by the District, the A-Team Award!
Beverly Hancock and Ashton Russell exemplify the three big ideas of our Professional Learning Communities culture as they continually demonstrate a focus on learning, collaboration, and results.
Through observations and conversations with each team member, it is evident this team uses the PLC process to work together with collective responsibility for student learning. They ensure a guaranteed and viable curriculum for all fifth-grade math students, use common formative assessments to monitor student learning, use common assessment data to improve teaching and learning practices, and support the RTI process by providing systematic interventions and extensions for all students.
It is also evident that Principal Kelly Wade and the Clear Creek Elementary School Guiding Coalition have played a significant role in the development of this A-Team. Its Guiding Coalition was mentioned many times as a source of strength for the PLC process and as the means for the professional development which resulted in the efficacy of this collaborative team. Congratulations on this extraordinary achievement!
Beverly Hancock and Ashton Russell will now present at May's school board meeting, New Teacher Institute, and serve as role models for future A-Teams throughout our school system.
This is our 12th collaboration team to earn an A-Team Award!
