Glenwood is a National Model PLC At Work District! Wanna know more about what that means? Yesterday we dropped an episode of the Podcast that focuses on just that. Check out why it is good to be a Glenwood Ram!
Earlier this Spring, several of our Instructional Coaches, ESP Teachers (Education Support Professionals), and Administrators participated in the CEC- Council for Exceptional Children National Convention in San Antonio, Texas. At the convention, our Glenwood Team, comprised of Megan Wake, Julie Mullen, Tami Bertini, and Cindy Menendez, delivered a presentation titled "Better Together: Fostering Collective Efficacy in Special Education Through Instructional Coaching." The conference primarily focused on two key areas: inclusive leadership and mental health. Each year, the CEC Convention & Expo brings together thousands of special education professionals from across the globe for learning, sharing, and networking. With an extensive array of sessions covering various topics in the field, this event stands out as the premier professional development opportunity for special educators seeking practical research, tips, and strategies applicable to supporting students with disabilities and/or exceptional talents. The convention boasted over 4,000 attendees, including teachers, administrators, professors, students, and para-educators, all eager to engage with the 500+ sessions and 2 keynote presentations offered.
🌟 Happy National Principals Day to our Glenwood leaders who inspire, guide, and shape our schools every day! 🏫✨ Thank you for your dedication to education and for creating environments where students thrive. #NationalPrincipalsDay #LeadershipMatters 🎓
