English teacher leaders from around the district, aka Capacity Builders, have gathered together five times this year to discuss best practices, try on strategies and share resources. After reflecting on the 2018-19 school year and all the learning that Capacity Builders were a part of, teachers showcased some highlights in a “rapid fire exhibition.” Teachers were challenged to take an idea or two that was learned from their five leadership sessions and creatively exhibit it to others in less than 30 minutes! Some teachers used pipe cleaners to demonstrate the intricacies of leading department and staff meetings. Other teachers shared their learning of collaborative reading strategies through cotton balls and LEGO pieces. There were googly eyes on drawings, Harry Potter stickers representing teachers, clothespins, markers, and more! Teachers love to experience what their students experience. Look out for some creative ways to exhibit learning in SDUSD English classes!
