Welcome to the District Wide Staff Development for

Language Arts Grade 3-6 teachers. This morning you will

attend break-out sessions presented around the new TEKS.

These sessions are grounded in the beliefs of Conroe ISD’s

Instructional Model and remind us that to serve our students,

we are better as one. We are better as we learn, teach,

create and face challenges as one. We are a team of

dedicated educators striving to bring our individual talents

together as one group for the betterment of our students.

We may come from different backgrounds, experiences and

learning, but to provide the best for ALL of our students, we

come together… Better as 1.
