At the beginning of the year we discussed building positive relationships with our students in order to promote growth of the hippocampus and open our students brains up for learning (it's science!). By now you likely have identified students whom you are struggling to build a positive relationship. The question is: what can we do differently to reach the student? As professionals, we possess a special skill set and traits which allow us to assess and change the dynamic in a situation to fit a need. So, what are we going to change to reach the kid? We are the leaders in our domain (classroom)...how can we lead the positive dynamic? Are you greeting students at the door? Are you asking them about themselves? Are you reaching out to parents to brag? These are just a few of the ways in which you can shift that dynamic and win the kid over. They can't learn if we don't swell their hippocampus...change the dynamic! If you need ideas, reach out for help...there is plenty of help to go around. After all, #togetherisbetter.
Reminder to have your grades done by 4:00 tomorrow...we will pull them on Monday afternoon to send out progress reports.
You should be getting feedback soon from an administrator about the TEKS Progress Tracking forms and how those are progressing. We will meet at the end of the 6 weeks to discuss the data and progress so it's important we begin to make headway in that area.
One way we will streamline that process is have those forms ALL placed into the BHS Folder. Inside of the folder is the first week forms and the TEKS Progress Monitoring folder...save them here. Also, change the name to fit the following format: LastName_FirstInitial_TPT. Save all units under different tabs on the same form. In other words, you should only have one form inside the folder but create a new tab for each unit. This will make access easier.
We've got a lot going on...step back and take a breather this weekend. Don't let work consume you because it will always be there. Spend some time on YOU and your FAMILY. If that's not taken care of...you won't be at your best. The kids need you to be your best everyday!
Say farewell to Donna Trammell as she pursues other ventures. We will miss her!
Welcome to our staff Kelly Grissom. Kelly has served as a science teacher and department head at BHS before...she comes with 19 years of teaching experience. We're very excited to have her join our staff. She will start with us on Monday.
Have a great weekend!
Be intentional about engagement!
