Hello. I am currently one of the Instructional Coaches at Arlington Middle School. I have been at Arlington for the past 10 years. Five years in a ELA classroom, three as an Instructional Coach, and one as the APC. In the past four years we have gone from not having computers or phones to a myriad of technological tools. I am looking forward to exploring all the tools we have so that we can help more teacher use them.

I also figured out that because I am not listed as a teacher in Genesis, I do not currently have the ability to put a lesson plan under my name. I will change that. Until that time I will just list it below.

I chose to do a 8th Grade Science lesson with one of our new tech tools Gizmos. I realize that not every school has the ability to have extra laptops for students to use. So if you need to use this as a station over a period of time that would work too. Our students have gone crazy over this lesson they never wanted to stop the breeding step.
