During the week of June 26-29, new teachers to Glenwood CSD for the 23-24 school year had the opportunity to engage in optional learning activities. The week started off with consultants from the Flippen Group, who were trained in a framework called Capturing Kids Hearts. This framework focuses on establishing positive relationships and social expectations in all 6-12 classrooms and schools at GCSD. The consultants conducted sessions on Monday and Tuesday.
On Wednesday and Thursday, Dr. Chad Lang, the Assistant Superintendent, led the annual new teacher summit. This summit covered various aspects of curriculum, instruction, assessment, and grading across all the models employed by Glenwood CSD. The summit aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of these areas to the new teachers.
Additionally, there were other sessions and speakers featured throughout the week. Cindy Menendez, the Director of Special Services, and Instructional Coaches Tami Bertini, Ericka Lang, Derrica Hutchings, and Ben Haynes addressed topics such as teacher leadership, instructional coaching, and professional learning communities.
Overall, more than 20 educators participated in these valuable four days of learning experience in Glenwood.
Check out these Glenwood teachers representing GCSD at the College World Series Teacher Appreciation Day at Game 7 today at 1 pm. They will be some of the teachers holding the flag during the national anthem!

“What is your passion? 8th grade ELA students were challenged with creating a Passion Project for their culminating end-of-the-year assignment. Students were able to choose a topic of interest to them and begin their research. Throughout the week they worked, students created a presentation and an essay for
their topic. Presentations included hash browns, various animals, local celebrities, and even a summary of a student’s favorite horror movie franchise!”
