Welcome Back
- If you have not completed your PGP with your coach, please have it completed and submitted in CIITS by 10/28.
- As your team works together over the next few weeks, please keep your short cycle change, Problem of Practice: Use of Manipulatives, as part of your conversation.
- Insurance Open Enrollment season is here. Please do not forget to complete your health insurance enrollment.
- This Wednesday and Thursday we will have representatives from the Insurance group to help with Open Enrollment. Each of you must meet with these individuals. This year they are providing substitutes for coverage for anyone who is unable to find time in their schedule to meet with the representatives. When you sign up with the link below, please indicate whether you will need substitute coverage during your time.
Great Questions
I recently finished a book by Sir Ken Robinson called The Element. In the book, the author implores educators to provide more questions for students than easy answers. He believes that our current Google society can find the easy answers that have traditionally been a part of education in a matter of seconds.
It is our job to provide questions for students and opportunities for them to explore topics and grow their understanding. This is exactly how we handle issues as adults. My 3 hour journey resulted in a lot of learning for me and if you think about your experiences it is how you learn as well.
Thank you for providing so many great opportunities and great questions for our students. This next 9 week period is my favorite. I know it will be a great one.
