Adairsville High School Biology teachers

Superintendent Page and system leaders present Adairsville High School and its Biology collaboration team, which consists of Ariel Martin, Kristi Sylvester, TJ Langston, Casey Smith, and Elisha Mayberry with the most prestigious award given by the District, the A-Team Award!

Ariel Martin, Kristi Sylvester, TJ Langston, Casey Smith, and Elisha Mayberry exemplify the three big ideas of our Professional Learning Communities culture as they continually demonstrate a focus on learning, collaboration, and results.

Through observations and conversations with each team member, it is evident this team uses the PLC process to work together with collective responsibility for student learning. They ensure a guaranteed and viable curriculum for all their students, use common formative assessments to monitor student learning, use common assessment data to improve teaching and learning practices, and support the RTI process by providing systematic interventions and extensions for all students.

Ariel Martin, Kristi Sylvester, TJ Langston, Casey Smith, and Elisha Mayberry will now present at an upcoming school board meeting, New Teacher Institute, and serve as role models for future A-Teams throughout our school system.

This is our 27th collaboration team to earn an A-Team Award!
