Reflection
As we end one semester, take time to talk with your students and listen to their reflections. What's working well in your class? What needs to stop? What needs to change?
Here are some great reflective questions for students and teachers:- In what ways do you think you need to improve?
- What problems did you encounter while you were trying to reach your goals?
- What was successful? Why?
- What would you like to change? What's your first step?
- What things you might want more help with?
- What do we want to accomplish next time? new goals?
This and That
- New webpage: TISD is launching the webpage on December 14. We need 100% of staff to complete staff page by the deadline. If you miss the training, please make sure you set up make-up time with Ms. Young.
