I'm really pleased with our progress at this point. Within our grade level teams we have already identified students in need of intervention and have begun implementing intervention. The conversations within those meetings are valuable in helping our students be successful.
Mindset Monday is back on the horizon, Monday during 5th period. We should be teaching 1.1 Dream Big within the Everything is Possible! unit. Do you believe everything is possible? I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with an amazing staff that is focused on helping our students promote a positive mindset.
Wednesday, we will have lunch as a whole staff in the library, and will be focused on lesson 1.2, Embrace Creativity. Make plans to be in attendance.
Our admin team has been in a lot of classrooms so far and are having continuous conversations about the great things we're seeing in the classroom and working with teachers to hone their craft. Nothing will ever replace great instruction from a teacher who is passionate. Keep up the good work in this area.
Each teacher has been assigned to an admin to have one on one academic conversations at the 6 weeks point. Soon you will receive a notification on the date and time of that conversation. The conversation will focus around the TEKS Progress Tracking document, essential to our instructional planning and accountability. Within the TPT document we'll be discussing these components:
1. TEKS
2. Objective
3. Alignment to the YAG/TEA Curriculum
4. TEKS Verb
5. Activities/Assessment alignment to verb
6. Date range
7. Assessment data
We look forward to meeting with you and discussing all the great plans you have put into place.
Finally, there will always be time for work. Make time for yourself, your family, your friends. Do things you want to do, or do nothing at all. Relax!
Have a great weekend!
