Spent the morning with the Yellowjackets at Kermit High School! 💛🐝

We explored how intentionally utilizing Means of Participation can boost both Think Ratio and Participation Ratio—creating classrooms where more students are actively thinking, engaging, and contributing.

Thank you, Kermit HS, for the great conversations, participation, and commitment to creating meaningful learning experiences for students!

Midland Academy Charter School K-5 teachers spent their first day back learning about the Bluebonnet RLA Product. Teachers were attentive and eager to learn how to use the new product to help their students become better readers.

It was a great day of learning at Presidio ISD as Terri Rimer and Kristin Ross partnered with educators for a day focused on continuous learning and professional growth.

Together, we explored student-centered learning and took a deeper dive into T-TESS, focusing on how intentional instructional practices and reflective teaching can create meaningful learning experiences for every student.

We’re grateful to the Presidio ISD educators for their engagement, thoughtful discussions, and commitment to continuous improvement. We look forward to seeing how this learning continues to impact classrooms across the district!

Running for a great cause! 👟 Blue skies and high energy as Team Region 18 joined the Midland Police Department for their annual 5K Run.

We presented RLA RBIS to Ector County ISD employees. The participants were very engaged and enjoyed learning all the research based instructional strategies to help their students. We look forward to continuing to work with ECISD during the 26/27 school year. It’s going to be a great school year!

Monahans Wickett Pyote ISD hosted Region 18 presenters for a fantastic day of RBIS refinement with participants from all over the region! Educators learned all about the Science of Learning and the power of explicit instruction and effective student practice.

We were in Pecos-Barstow-Toyah ISD yesterday working through LIFT with some dedicated teachers, principals, and district staff.

LIFT is a district-wide grant-funded, three-year program that brings together components of Strong Foundations, Texas Instructional Leadership, and Texas Lesson Study to provide comprehensive support for districts adopting high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) and implementing Bluebonnet Learning.

Great work going on in our districts focused on creating effective and sustainable learning environments for all students.
