Titan Staff News
Week of October 19
Titans,
Big things are happening here at Tidwell! Each and every day I walk the halls and see the amazing things you're doing in the classroom. As soon as the bells ring, you all have the students engaged and attending to the day's task. October can be a tough month in education. We are tired from the first haul of the six weeks and the cooler weather hasn't hit yet. Stay strong, Titans! Our students need our best each and every day. We only have 177 days to give them what they need to be success for the upcoming year. Make each and every day count.
Enjoy your weekend,
Kim

Sweatin' in the PLCs
This week you all will meet separately in your PLCs. The focus will be on sharing and discussing our Learning Targets. The following outline for discussion was provided in the 2nd 6 wks at a glance sent to you all last week. However, here it is again for your ease.
October 19 - Am I getting the results I planned for?
Task: Share Learning Targets for the week of October 19
How do your students interact with the Learning Target daily? Is it meaningful and relevant to our students? If not, how can we develop that culture?
How can we utilize our PLC to plan Learning Targets and obtain greatly consistency across our campus?
