Welcome snack basket 🍬 Notes from future students 📒 Lunch with a Principal 🥗 What "just got hired" special touch has made YOU feel welcomed and part of a new team? After signing a contract, teachers might not interact with their new school for 60+ days - this time period between contract and first day of training can feel lonnnnngggg for a newly-hired (and eager) teammate. We've worked with schools to consider big and small ways to ensure your recruits and new hires feel connected. Recently, the Missouri Elementary Principal magazine featured an article by Candace sharing some onboarding best practices. (And yes - she'd love to talk to YOU about your onboarding game plan - reach out!) #newlyhired #onboarding #talentstrategy
Kansas City schools are stacked with teachers that bring wisdom, determination and pizzazz to our classrooms - and you all deserve every token of appreciation under the sun! This week, we are stopping by some of our recent client partners to bring treats and gratitude to teachers we've coached this past year. Thank you for ALL that you do. #teacherappreciationweek #TAW2024 #sonicdrinksfortheWIN
MAP Ramp Up Reflections
"What has me feeling so confident is..." ➡ When a teacher is saying this during a check-in, our hearts soar. 💓
You're invited to "log in" with us for a coaching session led by Alecia. Ms. Hadnott is the 7th and 8th grade math teacher at Genesis School, and during this weekly meeting time, Alecia and Ms. Hadnott are checking in about the “MAP Ramp Up” scope and sequence they've created which includes the highest leverage standards to review/cover with students before testing. They reflect weekly to review data and decide if anything needs to be adjusted based on data. Ms. Hadnott is making MOVES for her students!

🔑The key to implementation: At Dana Coleman Consulting, we don't just provide the 'how-to' for effective classroom instruction, we dive deeper to equip educators with a roadmap for navigating the challenges that ALSO come up in the classroom. Last week we led an interactive session with teachers at Hogan Prep, equipping educators with the tools to leverage focused instruction. This team left eager to try the strategies in their classroom, and we're inspired by their determination. #teachercoaching #teacherPD #teacherdevelopment
I spy with my little eye: two Greek letters making their way into our math question: "what math symbol best represents you and why?" We loved reflections from Mrs. Baird and Ms. Brooks, current math superstars at Kansas City Girls Preparatory Academy and @KIPP KC (and our friend Mrs. Greve with a long tenure and love of all things math!)
