The Blueprint
Boonsboro Middle School Staff September 28, 2018
Team BMS at the Boonewalk! I was a very proud principal to have such a big team. Thanks to all who joined us!
Walk Throughs
This week's finds:
* Students who could tell me what they were supposed to learn today and how they would show their learning
* Use of WCPS-vetted materials/resources
* Learning objectives and learning activities aligned to WCPS curriculum/modules
* Students asking each other to justify their thinking
* Students finding evidence to support a claim
* Student presentations that synthesized information from multiple sources
* Students being challenged to push physical fitness levels
* Teachers using positive reinforcement
* Co-teachers providing differentiated instruction
* Students speaking in Spanish
We are about to start Week 5! This week's walk through focus will continue to be curricular connections and pacing. Stay the course!
Below is an article I read recently that definitely reminded me of the heart of walk throughs. Check it out if you want!
Positive Contacts
Extra credit: Ask Steve Shubert to share the result of his positive calls.
Lastly---We are all still adjusting. 4 calls (instead of 8) will get you an A for October.
