Here's what to expect today:
- Check in: how are things?
- Eduphoria work time & data driven instruction: TWAs
- Resources & Strategies Swap: what's working? what do we need to target?
- The Gift of Time: Plan!
Reinforce, Refine, Reflect
Step One:
As teachers we wear many hats and have a plethora of TEKS to cover and duties to fulfill. Make a list of everything you teach and spend time on this semester (academic and otherwise).
Step Two:
Sort them into categories. What do you notice?
Step Three:
Resort into three categories:
1. Reinforce: Things I do well and want to/must continue doing
2. Refine: Things I want to tweak or change
3. Reflect: Things I want to stop doing
