It was a busy start to professional development at the BIS today. Mr. Chris Painter taught staff how to use some new online tools in their classrooms.
Mrs. Kylee Redford conducted a workshop on the teacher effectiveness rubric. The teachers discussed how to improve instruction in the classroom to help support student learning and outcomes.

BPS teachers were deep in thought during PD this morning. Mrs. Jessica Shroyer presented highlights from the High Ability Conference. Mrs. Amber Crabtree presented on Fluency work for comprehension and grade level teams worked to develop Tier Two Vocabulary lists.

Teachers learned how to make their lessons "stick" during professional development Wednesday morning. Assistant Superintendent David Parker led BJSHS staff in a session on the science of successful learning and applying those lessons in their own classrooms.

The staff at Blackford Primary School was glad to see the sunshine today but we will be even more happy if we see you at the February food pantry. That's right! it is the first Monday of the month and that means it is food pantry night. The doors are scheduled to open at 5:00 pm. We hope to see you here.
It was another great outing for our BJSHS ESports teams! According to Coach Gallatin, JH Fortnite has a top 10 night with Jaedon Roberts leading the way with a 3rd place finish.
