On Monday, August 19th, the Bartow County Board of Education recognized the 6th grade Social Studies team of Katie Hamilton and Dana Walters as an A-Team.
Katie Hamilton and Dana Walters 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 their 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.
Katie Hamilton and Dana Walters will now present at our New Teacher Institute and serve as role models for future A-Teams throughout our school system.
This is Bartow's 28th collaboration team to earn an A-Team Award!
