| In early February, the Cohort II team met in a special Meet & Greet event attended by Superintendent of Schools Scott R. Muri, Ed.D. (fourth row, center). |
The 55-member Vanguard Fellows group represents 29 campuses, from prekindergarten up to high school. The teachers applied for positions and were then interviewed before selection. A long-term district effort to encourage and support innovative instruction through smarter use of technology integration and refocused curriculum design is a priority for these chosen teachers.
In early February, the Cohort II team met in a special Meet & Greet event. The second cohort increases representation by 15 campuses. On Feb. 24, all Vanguard Fellows attended special sessions and welcoming activities at the SBISD Technology Training Center.
“We are super excited to welcome these innovative educators to the Vanguard Fellows team,” Superintendent Scott Muri, Ed.D., told district leaders in announcing the new fellows.
Karen Justl, SBISD educational technology director, echoed his remarks. “Their energy and enthusiasm will definitely enrich the fellowship as we expand into 15 additional campuses. Through professional networking opportunities, their collaborative spirit translates into partnerships across campuses as they support one another on their #LearnersJourney,” Justl said, a reference to the district’s strategic plan for greater student learning and classroom innovation.
SBISD’s Vanguard Fellows will develop in its own way, but similar teams have been created successfully in other public school districts where Dr. Muri served. These include Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in North Carolina and Fulton County Schools in suburban Atlanta.
The Vanguard Fellows will meet in the months ahead in special team sessions.
