The Siple Spotlight
A weekly newsletter for the Siple Staff
It's a busy week ahead!
5D+ and PIVOT
As you complete the Self-Assessment remember that this is your time to reflect on your professional practice and consider where you feel you fall on the 5D+ rubric. If you mark yourself above Basic in an area, please include evidence in the comment section that supports your score using classroom examples that regularly occur in your classroom. Please keep in mind that your Self-Assessment does not play a part in your final evaluation. It DOES however play an important role in Step 2 of the Inquiry Process.
Next week you will begin work on your Growth Plan. When completing your Growth Plan you will draw from the Self-Assessment you completed as well as the needs of your students, and the Building/District School Improvement Plans. Your Growth Plan needs to be completed by September 23rd. As soon as you complete your Growth Plan we will meet to review your Growth Plan together. As with the Self-Assessment I am available to help you through the process. I will distribute directions for the completion of the Growth Plan and samples for you to review at the end of this week.
I am excited about working with each of you as we go through the process this year. We are all going to grow tremendously. The students aren't going to know what's hit them!
