Congratulations to Assistant Principal Melanie Porter who was recognized as the FCPS 2022 Region 5 Outstanding School-Based Leader and one of the six finalists for the FCPS Outstanding School-Based Leader at this year's FCPS Honors event, held at George Mason University Center for the Arts on June 8th.
“Clear is kind” is what guides the way Melanie leads, learns, and lives. Emphasizing clarity and shared purpose, she has earned the respect, admiration, and support of the Frost community. She’s an advocate for equity and inclusion with her impact reaching far beyond the walls of her school. She overhauled Frost’s PBIS framework, developed a comprehensive literacy intervention and progress monitoring action plan, and facilitated a shift in mindset and instructional practice toward concept-based learning within the school’s ELA department. On any given morning you might find Melanie greeting students with upbeat music and a huge smile or having a dance party and “dad joke” competition during lunch supervision in order to infuse fun and positive energy into everyone’s day.
