Teacher’s Reflections
“I am pleased with my students’
Gateway and EOCT scores.”-Mrs. Parlato
“We had 100%
passing (58%
exceeds and 42%
meets) in CDAT on
the 9th grade LA
EOCT!”
- Mrs. Haddock
“I would say an accomplishment
for me was incorporation varied
ways of teaching, questioning,
and reviewing than before such
as group work, discovery tasks,
and involved review games.
Results were better when
assessed after a section as
opposed to waiting until the end
of the year!”
- Mrs. Barnes
“One accomplishment
for me, was to finally
have completed my certificationthrough TeachGwinnett
May of 2012. I had to
have worked as a teacher for 5full years here in
Georgia to complete
the certification and I
completedthis, May of 2012.”- Mrs. Hernandez
