Inside Our Dragon Classrooms: From the Instructional Coach’s View

Instructional coaches support teachers by sharing effective strategies, offering feedback, and providing tools that strengthen instruction and improve student learning.

At IDWM, everyone plays a role in helping our Dragons succeed, and supporting our teachers is fundamental to that mission. Here’s a sneak peek at the amazing learning already happening inside our IDWM classrooms!

Thank you, Mrs. Dewell, for your dedication and continued support of our teachers!

Our IDWM Technology Elective classes started the year strong!

This week, students explored algorithmic thinking, flowcharts, and logical reasoning by designing step-by-step instructions for making a PB&J sandwich. 🥪 They quickly discovered that clear directions and the correct sequence matter!

Our Dragons are building problem-solving skills and starting the year with the right mindset.
