Dr. Holly Hibbard and Alicia Whitworth had the privilege of spending the morning with all of the amazing math teachers at Corbin Primary, along with their Math KMIT Coach and Assistant Principal, Jessica Epperson!
Corbin Primary uses the KMIT (Kentucky Mathematics Improvement Tool) to conduct classroom observations and use that data to drive meaningful PLC conversations. Today’s training focused on diving deeper into three key components that will help spark and strengthen their math-focused work during PLCs. 📊🧮💡
We absolutely LOVE that, although Corbin Primary already has such strong math practices and classrooms, they are continually looking for ways to grow, reflect, and get even better! 🌟 That commitment to continuous improvement is what makes schools like Corbin Primary so special.
I can’t wait to see all the amazing things they continue to do and watch them ROCK this school year! 🎉📚💙
