West Clermont Team Attends Math Class!

Math teachers form Summerside, Merwin and Brantner Lane are learning with me at a 2-day math workshop designed to help us become better math teachers for young children. We are learning from Ms. Barb Weidus and Ms. Catherine Schulte, two Clermont County Educational Service Center consultants who are math experts in our area. From Summerside, Ms. Patty Emery ( Kdg.Yeah!back from medical leave),Mrs. Peggy Simmons (1st), Mrs. Rebecca Jones(1st), Mrs. Ellen Beavers (Title I), Mrs. Stephanie Rowland (new-intervention) and me. I was please to see my new friend Dr. Carrie Bunger (intervention psych.) from Merwin attend the workshop too. I even had the pleasure of seeing Mrs. Heather Murphy ( 2nd.-intervention) a teacher from Hillsboro Primary School where I used to be principal before coming to Summerside. It was a great day, but the work is challenging. Our team will use an assessment called the DMA (developmental math assessment ) with our K-2 students this fall to help teachers learn more about their youngest Eagles math thinking and skills. I commend these teachers and all of the teachers that have given up several days this summer unpaid to further their teaching skills. we have an excellent group of professional educator working at Summerside and in all West Clermont schools.
