Dr. Elizabeth Hale, Assistant Professor of Literacy at 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 and faculty-in-residence at Tiger Academy, was awarded the national Exemplary PK20 Boundary Spanner Award. This award recognizes an individual who is exemplary in meeting Essential 8 of Professional Development Schools, in which the individual moves beyond the responsibilities of one’s job to impact a third space. Boundary spanners are situated in a “third space” between university and PK12 settings and are not bound solely by the traditions or responsibilities of any one institution. An exemplary PK20 boundary spanner innovates the systems or practices to enhance the learning of all of those involved in the partnership.
This year’s conference Give Back supported three local 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 partner schools, King’s Trail Elementary, Tiger Academy and River City Science Academy, by providing donations for school supplies. As a 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 partner school, these schools engage in teacher preparation, ongoing professional learning and inquiry to enhance teaching and learning for all stakeholders.
