Well, we just can’t stop posting all of the summer learning taking place. Today, we are grateful for our WISD counselor from Dunaway. Shelley Anderson planned a lesson, read to our students, and helped them make 🇺🇸 to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. 🤩
And you’ll never guess what we have up our sleeves for tomorrow!

Week 1 of summer learning is complete and it was a blast! Learning is fun, especially when N. P. Sims Library visits and we end with a pizza making party to stamp all of our learning.

TLI can’t thank our summer crew enough for planning and implementing such great lessons for our learners. WISD is the best!

What can we say? So much greatness is happening this summer ☀️!

Teachers are helping coordinators with pacing and plans 💻, Newcomer Camp is half-way done 🏕️ , Summer School is rocking 📝, we even learned how to call a chicken 🐥 (sort of).

Summer is so fun! Everything is possible.

Summer learning has officially kicked off!

Our Bilingual / ESL summer school 🦸🏻‍♀️ and Newcomer Camp 🏕️ had an incredible first day, filled with engaging learning experiences and beaming smiles, setting the stage for a summer of growth and discovery.

The Dual Language program is part of TLI where we work on big stuff and very specific educational stuff.

We could not be more proud of this young man OR the team who helped and monitored and supported in the background through the journey. The work is often tedious and compliance driven but worth it, because the work is also full of joy and success stories. Obviously it paid off. I mean…David is off to STANFORD!!!

David, TLI is cheering you on! 📣

We want to shout out two members of our TLI team for 30 years with WISD!

Ginger Robinson has served our district as a resident, parent, and employee. While she has worked in many roles, her expertise in counseling and passion for what is best for students helps her shine bright in her current role as Director of Educational Support and Counseling Services.

Dawn Hilburn (aka Coach Hilburn, aka Data Dawn) has also led WISD through various leadership roles. Her presence and voice are a staple in the district. She continues to innovate, raise the bar, and teach us about all things data as Director of Assessment & Accountability.

We are grateful for their commitment, consistency, collaboration, and love for our WISD community! 😍🤩 They make us better at TLI!!

The school year may be over, but TLI is still working hard behind the scenes. And we can’t wrap up this year without celebrating some seriously epic growth. We LOVED shouting out our elementary teachers who had 80% + of their students meet their MAP growth goal. We even had one teacher, Honey Lantrip- 1st grade at Simpson, who had 100% of her students meet their growth goal in math AND reading!! We are so ridiculously proud. There might have been some (awkward) happy dances happening. Help us keep the love going for these awesome educators! (Not all are pictured)
