On today's episode, I chat with Connie Hamilton about Professional Learning Communities, and her practice is designing and un-leading them in-order to build teacher capacity.
Connie Hamilton Ed.S. currently serves her school district in West Michigan as their curriculum director and co-elementary principal. Her teaching experiences include 1st through 8th grade and interventions and contribute to her vertical perspective on best instructional strategies. Connie strives to build leadership capacity within teachers, creating teams of educators to work together to increase student achievement. Identifying student needs from the day-to-day and building to a district point of view allows for various strategies and systems to meet student needs. As a certified trainer for classroom questioning, Connie shares methods with teachers not only to pose questions for students, but within themselves to help maintain a growth-minded drive in education.
As the founder and moderator of Sunday night's weekly #TMchat, Connie has had the privilege of collaborating with minds like Larry Ferlazzo, Doug Fisher, Dave Burgess, Nancy Frey and many more. These Twitter chats have proven to be a source for references and thought-provoking conversation on critical educational topics such as student engagement, formative assessment, rigor, etc. Please follow her on Twitter @conniehamilton and consider joining the dynamic group of educators for a #TMchat Sundays at 10pm ET.
