Professional Learning In Action
Today, Fulton Independent partnered with our amazing coaches from Kids First to dive deep into our High-Quality Instructional Resources (HQIR).
We are proud to be a district that invests in our teachers, because they invest so much in our students.
Today’s focus: the Science of Reading across all grade levels. From foundational skills in the early years to advanced literacy strategies in upper grades, our educators engaged in meaningful learning to strengthen reading instruction for every student, every day.
Our Literacy Team and Administrators showed up with commitment, energy, and a shared goal: making this the Best Year Yet for every Bulldog learner. 💙🐾
Thank you to our dedicated educators and incredible Kids First team for a powerful day of professional development focused on student success!
A special thanks to our Community Partner, Domino’s Pizza, for sponsoring lunch for our staff as well!
