"I would like to thank the FCEF for providing another opportunity for me to attend the EdTech Summit here at GMHS.
I was able to add additional skills that translate directly to our learning environment.

Thank you,

McKenrick and Parrish enjoy Literacy conference thanks to Teacher Training Grant from FCEF!

11/14/2016

 
The Falls Church Education Foundation funded a grant for TJ Reading Teachers, Alexa McKenrick and Sarah Parrish, to attend the Literacy for All Conference in Providence, RI at the end of October.  Sarah and Alexa had the opportunity to learn from experts like Irene Fountas, Gay Su Pinnell, Nell Duke, Dorothy Barnhouse, and Lucy Calkins.  
Workshop topics included responsive teaching in guided reading, complex thinking in complex texts, writing in response to reading, guided writing, literacy coaching (relationship awareness, structures for collaborative learning), literacy as inquiry, and using literature to support social-emotional development of students.
Sarah and Alexa plan to share the knowledge they gained by attending this conference through differentiated professional learning workshops at Thomas Jefferson. TJ teachers have selected one area to develop their own professional knowledge. Sarah and Alexa have scheduled job-embedded professional learning, including: Supporting English Learners with Decoding & Fluency, Comprehension Strategies, Guided Writing, and an Introduction to Guided Reading.

They greatly appreciate the opportunity to grow their professional knowledge and share it with others.

​ANNOUNCING: Falls Church Education Foundation Teacher of the Year Award
The Teacher of the Year Award Program has a new name and a new sponsor! 


The Falls Church Education Foundation Teacher of the Year Award. This award was formerly  called the Agnes Meyer Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award,. 
When The Post  significantly changed the award structure,  FCEF stepped in to ensure that the winning FCCPS teacher receives a monetary award.

All nominees will receive tickets to the FCEF Annual Gala and the winner will receive a $1500 award. The nomination deadline is Thursday, January 5, 2017.


Everyone is encouraged to recognize a teacher who has made a difference! We will do surprise announcements of all nominees in January and the winner will be announced in March/April.

The winner will also be the FCCPS Finalist for the Washington Post Teacher of the Year Award.

Here is the nomination form.  

Thanks to our Local Businesses for support of schools!
