Weekly Reflections
1st Quarter of the Game
Focus of the week: Parent conference
So, let's get in the huddle....Team we have completed the first quarter of this game called teaching and learning. We have to really capitalize on our fundamentals...they win games! I am asking you to remember that you teach children, not robots and to remember how teenagers are (please review adolescent psychology). The important thing to remember is that we are in control of bringing our very best each and everyday. Let's teach with passion. Let's look at formative assessments to inform instruction. Let's teach with passion! Teach each day as if you are teaching your own child. I know that you can do it! Let's win together!
#ALLthewayUP!
Glows:
1. No major discipline issues on 11/1
Grows:
1. Increase expectations (expect students to get to class on time)
Thanks so much!
