HCS Instructional Services Department

Next we drove south to Elizabethtown to recognize another one of our fabulous HCS teachers!! 🙌🏽 Greg Sutton and Carlena Sheeran, ISD visited Heartland Elementary School as they presented an Orton Gillingham Master Teacher award to Kalyn Mitchell, kindergarten teacher in the area of New Concept.🏆 The New Concept lesson provides direct instruction in a letter/sound relationship, spelling rule, or syllable type. This concept is taught using a structured and multi-sensory approach before students apply it to reading and writing. 🔡

Teachers go through a process of announced and unannounced visits from a district team, a walkthrough from their administration, and lots of feedback.👊🏼 Way to lead, Mrs. Mitchell!! 😊
