Happy New Year
Team Columbia:
Happy New Year Team! We hope that you had a wonderful and enjoyable winter break!
The dawn of a new year brings about new beginnings and reflections from the year that has passed. You may have resolved to accomplish a newly developed new year's resolution. You may have reminisced on fond memories from 2016. Or, maybe, you have set your sites on finally accomplishing a personal goal. Whatever state of mind your 2016 reflections have put you, please remember that the second semester is an opportunity to reset expectations and procedures. Everyone is afforded a clean start. Capitalize on this opportunity to improve on our instructional practices, classroom management, and establishing relationships.
Also, take the time to reflect on your professional and instructional goals that you set in August. Re-assess, re-evaluate, and make those necessary adjustments so that continual improvement may proceed. We challenge each of you to choose three deficiencies and resolve to improve in those areas. As we begin our second semester, we will focus on improved instruction that will lead to improved student achievement.
Welcome to 2017. We wish all of you much success! Welcome back!!
Enjoy this first week of the semester of teaching and learning!!!
