Love this. here’s how I’m putting it into practice this week with my Science Team: 1. What’s one win from this week and one barrier I can remove? 2. Which student/group needs a fast lift—and what’s our next micro-move?

I’m Sheresa Y. Rice, a middle-school Science Lead Teacher, a coordinator of the 21st CCLC after-school program, and a single parent. I’m a teacher-builder who creates plug-and-play systems—Do Nows, CER routines, exit-ticket trackers—that make growth doable for students and teachers. My goals are to accelerate Level 1–2 learners toward proficiency through clear scaffolds and data routines, raise instructional quality across my department, and expand whole-child programs. From this learning community, I hope to gain high-leverage strategies (especially for Tier 2/3), ready-to-use leader toolkits (PLC protocols, data meetings, walkthrough moves), a network of thought partners, and feedback on my intervention playbooks. My path: B.S. in Ag Economics (UAPB); grad study at Alcorn State; M.A.T. (University of Central Missouri); 27 hrs in Gifted & Talented (Arkansas State); now in Educational Leadership at UAPB. I’ve taught science for 23 years, serving as team/grade-level lead and now Science Lead—always turning big goals into simple, repeatable systems.
