from J-
I hope this finds you well. Many of you will be filling your learning and professional buckets at MAESP this weekend. Looking forward to starting that with recognizing Lora Hopper at the Missouri Distinguished Principal Banquet on Saturday night.
For those of you with openings, you will see they will start going up. Thank you to those who have been part and/or impacted in the internal transfers and are receiving new staff family.
Have a great week working your magic in your schools. Let me know how I can support-
It may be time...

from Bret-
The Learning Coach agenda is here. We had a good discussion about their roles in assisting you in shaping school culture based on this article.
Another principal set up a great discussion surrounding the FRL/Discipline data shared with you last week and found here. The protocol was taken from the Making Thinking Visible book by Ritchhart, Church & Morrison.
Here is the protocol:
1. Independently look at the discipline data (5-7 minutes)
2. After the 5-7 minutes is up, respond to the prompt at your table as a group. Choose a recorder to write your thoughts.
3. Rotate to the next Chalk Talk page and repeat the process.
4. Return to your original page and summarize the thinking there and be prepared to share.
She then provided sample real discipline issues referred to the office and asked groups of teachers to sort as Major or Minor.
5. Read each scenario.
6. Decide as a team whether the incident is ‘major’ or ‘minor’.
7. Sort each scenario into the two categories and discuss.
