In late July, Jim Sweeney, a third-grade teacher at Onaway, and Kristen Clark, an instructional coach at Onaway, presented together at the IB Global Conference in Orlando, Florida. Additionally, Dr. John Moore, the District’s IB coordinator and High School DP coordinator, presented with form IB co-coordinator Amy Brodsky. Dr. Terri Breeden, our Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, and Lomond Principal Carina Freeman were among Shaker administrators who attended. Other attendees included Maria Baker (ME IB Coordinator), Jean Reinhold (FE IB Coordinator) and Lauren Priestley (C&I Tech Integration Specialist). Presenting at an international IB conference is a true honor and privilege and having three of our teacher leaders do so is exceptionally noteworthy. These teacher-leaders took the time to collaborate, prepare and deliver what certainly was exceptional professional learning.
