Setting Instructional and Language the Goals!
We know the importance of having a goal to be successful. The Content Objectives (COs) and Language Objectives (LOs) will allow us to keep the focus of the lesson, distinguish the learning goal from the activities, differentiate between what is actually content vs. what is truly language, and to ensure there is a linguistic goal in every lesson. To write meaningful and relevant COs/LOs that interconnect the different levels of rigor and the four domains of language, as well as using them in an interactive way during the lesson, is a need to support the academic and language development of our ponies.
Thank you Ms. Boston, Ms. Wier and Ms. McIntosh for sharing some tips that will help making the objectives purposeful and clearer, especially if you have newcomers in your classroom!
Make the Objectives interactive
Use visuals to make the Objectives Comprehensible
Highlight Academic Vocabulary and have examples available.
LVES Behavior Essentials and No Excuses Essentials Schoolwide Behavior Plan 2017-2018
**CPI Procedures
When to Call:
Call only when the incident involves "harm to self or others," or the incident involves a "flight risk" (exit the building). The CPI call should always include the specific location.
Examples:
- CPI at Music
- CPI at Sammon
- CPI runner by Art room
Who should respond:
Only CPI certified teachers & their partners will step outside of their classroom (if it’s in their area).
Those teachers who are CPI trained (and located in that particular area), will come to the location to assist.
A Non-CPI trained teacher should be partnered with a CPI team member and have a plan in place for CPI calls.
If the CPI trained teacher is out assisting, the prearranged partner will stand in the hallway to monitor both classes.
