Hurricane Notes
January 18-22, 2015
Dear Friends,
As we dive into this semester, continue to keep that laser focus on what our task requires. We must push your students forward for high achievement. This is the time to make every move we make count. Furthermore, make sure that what we ask ourselves these crucial questions daily: What do we expect our students to learn? (goals & expectations); How will we know if they are learning? (assessment); How will we respond when they don't learn? (intervention); and last, How will we respond if they already know it? (extension). So reflect, plan and make every move count.
