Creating Solutions to Problems
Announcements 2 Ways
Our parents have let us know they miss our live Facebook announcements. Our current system is broken and we are awaiting the arrival of our new system. For this reason we are doing live Facebook announcements promptly at 7:40 prior to coming over the intercom for the campus. Please send all brag tags to the library by 7:39 so that we are ready for announcements. We want parents to celebrate our Falcons with us.
T-TESS Tidbits- Sign Up for Your Summative
It's hard to believe Kim and I will be starting T-TESS Summative conferences for all of our teachers who are new to Paloma Creek as well as those who have taught 3 years or less. All T-Tess conferences will occur by February 16th. Please submit your Self-Assessment Part II Goal Reflection and Professional Development plan by February 2nd.
Summative Conference - Evidence for 4.2 Goal Setting & 4.3 Professional Development
- Teachers reflect on current goal.
- Teachers share evidence to document progress
- Identify the evidence of goal attainment/progress, including the impact on student achievement.
- Identify the professional development participation connections for your goal.
- Describe how you used your goal and the professional development above to impact instruction and student achievement.
- What, if anything would you have done differently? How will you extend your goal/learning?
Kim and I look forward to celebrating progress towards your T-TESS goal with you. We are currently conducting summative conferences with probationary teachers and will open the window to begin conferencing with everyone (all teachers are rotation or those who have opted out this year) beginning February 26th .
