Faculty Notes

Happy Friday!

I hope your first week back in the saddle was a good one!

National Junior Honor Society

Many thanks to Kathy Pirtle, Anita Ellis, Kelly Long, and Elizabeth Mosely for making this year's NJHS induction ceremony such a rousing success.  I would also like to thank Greg Fuller and the SAGE staff for their work.  The ceremony was simply fantastic, and that was due to the hard work of the people mentioned above.  Thank you!!

Professional Development Resources

Here are some resources that I hope you will find helpful in your daily teaching:

TED-ED Brain Trust

This is a new forum you can join for lots of creative ideas for use in the classroom.  I blogged about it recently here.

"Fakebook" and "Twister"

Facebook and Twitter are both locked down here at Trinity during the school day.  However, the folks over at iLearnTechnology have a neat article about alternatives to these two sites that can be used in an educational setting.  I invite you to check it out!

Khan Academy

If you have not looked at Khan Academy, you really need to do so.  There are tons of great educational videos on every subject imaginable.

Have a Great Weekend!

Happy Friday!

I have decided to hold off on the professional development links until after Spring Break.

Please remember that we have a division meeting when we return on the 21st.  Otherwise, enjoy your much-deserved vacation!

K-12 Faculty Meeting

There will be a K-12 faculty meeting Monday afternoon at 3:40 in Willett Hall.  Please let me know if you are unable to be present for this meeting.

Division Meeting

Please make plans to attend a division meeting Monday, March 21 at 3:40pm in room 214.

Middle School Chapel

We will be operating on activity schedule Tuesday as we have a middle school chapel in the old gym.  Our guest speaker will be Henry Tellis.  Henry played football at Troy and in the NFL before becoming involved in the community ministry arm of First Baptist Church.  His work today is with the youth of west Montgomery.  To that end, Henry will speak with our students about using your resources for God, and about servant leadership.

We will also debut the recently-installed sound system in the Old Gym.  No more borrowing from Mrs. Ahna!

Education Brain Trust

The Ted Education Brain Trust is an exciting new venture in education.  It will be created using the ideas of teachers like you. Take a look at this brief video:
