Northern Region Teacher Shout Out

MVCA MS Science

Robin Moore – Middle School Earth Science – Robin has the essential elements of instruction

down to a science. She continually strives to improve upon her practice, though, by increasing

the rigor and quantity of formative assessments throughout the lesson as well as engaging

students in activities of collaboration. Robin regularly utilizes breakout rooms for students to

interact with course content in a structured way that still promotes exploration and inquiry.

Robin’s graphics, attention to detail, and enthusiasm are present from lesson start to finish.

WELCOME SLIDE – Robin’s Welcome Slides are always full of information and guide students

with the learning process.

STUDENT EXTRAS – Most recently, Robin used an extracurricular “party” to encourage

students to complete coursework and eliminate zeroes in the gradebook. Her first “Earth Science

Party” was held last week. J

TLAC IN CCs – One of Robin’s BIGGEST strengths and accomplishments is her strive to have

100% participation. She has reinforced this behavior and her students now regularly promote it

in the chat box during activities and formative assessments.

RECAPPING OBJECTIVES – Finally, Robin recently adjusted her lesson closing with

recapping the lesson objectives and inquiring students to share out their feelings from the day on

objective achievement.
