Smarter than a Worley Tiger? : "Are You Smarter than a Worley Tiger?" Recently, Rogene Worley Middle School teachers participated in a unique staff development opportunity designed to increase interdisciplinary collaboration among teachers and let them see first-hand just exactly what their students are learning and are expected to know. The day began with Worley's "Are you Smarter than a Worley Tiger" - a twist on the popular game show that quizzes adults on student curriculum. All of the questions were taken from the 7th and 8th grade TEKS in Language Arts, Math, Science, and History. The game was a fun way to introduce the serious objective of teacher collaboration across curriculum. Each grade-level department then delivered a 30-minute presentation to their colleagues highlighting their scope and sequence, information and examples of their subject area student assessments, and a brief overview of what daily instruction generally looks like. *The pictures are from the "Science" rotation where all the Worley teachers had the opportunity to participate in their own science lab...luckily there were no explosions or injuries!

Educator for a day 2008 : November 16-22, 2008 is American Education Week, a celebration to honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every child receives a quality education. As part of this year’s American Education Week, Imogene Gideon Elementary joined schools nationwide in conducting an Educator for a Day event on Thursday, November 20. 2008. The event invites community leaders to experience the day as a teacher. Educator for a Day pairs visiting community members with a “host educator” for a complete day’s activities. This program has been executed in many communities as it demonstrates to public officials and other decision makers the successes and challenges our school employees face, and it underscores the need for adequate staffing, materials, and facilities for our students.
