Job Alikes
I have received some questions in regards to the Job Alike sessions. The purpose of the job alike sessions are to "capitalize on each other's strengths" as a feeder pattern. Just how we facilitate our data meetings and collaborate to discuss our strengths so that we can share strategies to support areas of growth, the Job Alike sessions serve as a resource on a grander scale. The data (across the feeder pattern) is used to identify those teachers with "areas of strengths" so that they share those strategies with fellow colleagues within our feeder pattern. This allows for collaboration and working smarter, not harder!
Our very own Ms. Ricci, Ms. Rodriguez, and Ms. Nag hosted teachers across the feeder pattern this previous week! Check out the feedback for one of our sessions!
Reminder-Specials Classes
Please, please do not keep students from specials. All students MUST attend specials classes and not remain in the classroom to help the teacher.
Preparing our 21st Century Learners-Social Skills
Social Skill for the week of December 7 – 11:
Communication: How to Respond to an Adult:
We will continue our social skill “How to respond to an Adult” again next week. We will have another video midweek that continues the focus of saying ‘ma’m and ‘sir’ in different situations throughout the building.
When responding to an adult, answer by saying “Yes ma’am” “Yes sir” or “no ma’m” or “no sir”. Just nodding your head or saying any other form of yes or no is not acceptable.
This is one of the most important rules, because it sets the tone for the type of respect we expect from students.
Intervention Plans for Failing Students
Yay! Done. Thanks to the campus for working as a team to get this completed!
