Celebrations

Jan. 22 

Celebrations from last week we see teachers having fun with kids during 2nd Quarter celebrations, Coach Tilman's students putting together a video presentation after a research project, and our elementary friends predicting movements of the robot after giving it a command in Mrs. Elbert's room. 

Instructional

PLT Team Meetings:

We are moving from Question 1 to Question 2 of the PLC Questions.

What do we want our kids to learn? (Essential Standards, Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum)


How do we know they learned it? ( Data, Common Formative Assessments, Formatives, Summative)
What do we do when they don’t? (Interventions-Tier 2 and Tier 3)
What do we do when they do? (Extensions and Enrichments)

Objectives should be posted somewhere permanently in the room and those objectives should be referred to often to maximize student learning.

IEP Meetings

We as educators are required by law to attend IEP meetings. If an invite is sent to you please respond to that invite. This is a great opportunity to share progress as well as areas of concern with the IEP team.
