Teacher Institute Collaboration Day

We were so grateful for the opportunity to work collaboratively at the Teacher Institute on January 13, 2017.  In feedback from the previous Teacher Institutes, teachers shared that they would like more time in grade level or content area bands to collaborate with teachers from our other schools.  We listened, and the outcomes from the Teacher Institute far exceeded our expectations.  The teamwork between facilitators, CCAHS staff members, teachers and corporate departments was better and more productive than we could have ever anticipated. Coaches led vertical alignment sessions in all four critical content areas based on grade level bands. Teachers reviewed ELA and math pacing guides and took the opportunity to make some minor adjustments. While the science and social studies teachers met to begin the quarterly pacing guide work in those areas.  


Thanks so much to the Cesar Chavez Academy High School staff members, technology team, corporate volunteers, and the instructional coaches for all of the hard work you did making the day go smoothly!  Thank you to the teachers for improving the academic picture for TLG students!

We are eager to keep this momentum going and have tentatively scheduled four work sessions this summer in Okemos at the Leona Group Conference Center. The cohort dates are July 19, July 20, August 2 and August 3. More information will be provided as the school year progresses. We look forward to continued opportunities to collaborate.
