FMS Staff Insider
August 26th, 2018
Dear Staff,
Reminders:
-Are your positive relationships with students getting stronger? Are your routines set and followed? These should be part of the daily lesson plans to ensure our year is going to be one that doesn't run you ragged. If you haven't checked out NEE indicator 5.2, this helps specifically with this expectation. We will begin the NEE process this week only scoring this indicator. Resources here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1g6hq3j8G26fwO40U1oiX3rPu4zcGrcJrKMBGS4B3ffI/edit#slide=id.g3e81924651_0_300
-Insurance training-->please work to get this done asap so it's not down to the wire and we have to pester you. Thanks!
-Positive Parent Contacts via phone or email-please have these done for first hour by this Friday.
-Sub Plans: Please be sure you have emergency sub plans ready to go. These should first and foremost have a seating chart. That makes the world a better place for sure :) Thanks!!
Here's to an awesome week 2! Let us know how we can help and see you in the morning!
Sincerely,
Beth and Erica
What Students Want in a Teacher
Wednesday Team
To prepare for our meeting this week, be sure you have all preassessments collaboratively scored. We will begin Wednesday sharing a form to record data and make a focus for instruction. The form is personalized for you each of you, so it will take a little explaining. We will chart our students in four categories on the form.
These four categories DO NOT align with our grading scales. This is what we use to see where students are based on the pretest:
Proficient
Nearing Proficiency
Far, but Likely
Far, but Not Likely
These four categories will then help to make an action plan for teaching the unit. Click HERE for the overview of this process.
Clear as mud? Don't worry, it will all come together this Wednesday!
