Teach Tos This week
Taking time to re-teach behavioral expectations keeps behavior positive, refreshes your expectations for each student and helps increase success. Doing Teach-Tos after a break, is a research-based process approach proven to reduce challenging behavior and increase engagement.
Here is the procedure for conducting Teach-Tos. Please be sure to use it exactly.
1 - Model: Teacher demonstrates full range of behaviors - positive, negative and almost-but not quite. ("I do") -- Do not allow students to model or practice anything but the exact behavioral expectations.
2 - Practice: Teacher and Students practice the positive behaviors. ("We do").
3 - Test: Students then practice the behavior on their own without coaching or guidance, while teachers observes. Re-teach if necessary and behavior is not demonstrated exactly as taught by all students. ("You do")

CMAS/PARCC IS ALMOST OVER
Please have your students be quiet and respectful as they pass by the office and the 5th grade classrooms. Look for signs indicating that testing is being conducted. Testing will be occurring between 8:45 am - 11:00 am.
Jen will be proctoring these tests and thus will not be available in the office during testing time. She will have a sub.
Library services will be available all days, as the 5th graders can take their tests on their iPads in the classrooms. Yay!

Spring MAPS Testing Schedule Begins Next Week
Computer lab time will be used for MAPS testing and the proctors will be the teachers. Remember that teachers need to be setting up and creating these testing groups for their students. Please let Sarah, Jen or Kristin know if you need instructions again on how to do this. Sarah will distribute the proctors manual and have one available in the computer lab for each testing session.
Make-Ups tests will be conducted throughout this short window, and completed prior to May 1st, by Brenda Hand, our long-term sub in the library. Please help her in anyway you can.
