Developing a community of leaders for a better world.
Things to Know...
- Watch out when walking down the halls this week... you just may get run over by Carolyn as she does cartwheels!!!! We are excited to have Carolyn back and feeling good - just remind her she can't skip down the halls - it's against the rules ;)
- We are SO excited to have Tracy Eklund joining our SPED team!! She started today and has already jumped right in! Please help her feel a part of the Reed family!
- February Conference is just around the corner! The site will launch soon so that you can start looking at all the amazing sessions!
- In looking at our systems, it seems like our duty schedule could use some "continuous improvement"... please email me any thoughts you have about where we need more support, less support, changes made... (and be ready to be flexible because adjustments may be coming!

Collaborative Planning
Beware the "we've always done it this way" when you approach your planning because; as Einstein said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results”.
PLC's
IT ALL STARTS WITH THE TARGETS - such a powerful statement - and so true!
Where do those targets come from...
the TEKS of course!
How is your team doing at building targets based on the TEKS?
Goal Setting
How is goal setting going in your class? We have some great work being done with students!!
If you haven't seen it, check out the reading bulletin boards 2nd and 3rd grade have recently put up! They are awesome!!
