Power Of "WE"
Week of February 15-19, 2016
Remember as Ms. Tubman said above "you are the ones with the strength, the patience, and the passion." You are the ones that make a difference everyday! You establish the culture, the management and the level of learning in your classroom. You enable your students to reach for the stars and to change the world. You are the dreamer for the ones that don't know how to dream.
Cochran is four weeks away from our first round of STAAR testing. Thank you for all the hard work that you are doing in the classrooms. Our goal is to get out of Improvement Required and Cochran is well on its way to meet that goal.
Thank you for that sense of urgency in making sure that all of Cochran's students are as prepared as possible to meet the challenge. A special thanks to those of you that are supporting the upper grades: Mr. Loera, Ms. Martinez, Ms. Boson, Ms. Miller, Coach Booker, Ms. Guillory, and Mr. Manzanera. Between after-school, Saturday school, and Winning the Race focus sessions, Cochran is always working to their highest potential. Don't forget that our Key Actions in our Action Plan all revolve around student engagement, critical thinking and data.
I hope you had a great three day weekend and look forward to this four day week. Remember, in President Obama's words "We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
