Academic Excellence and Success
From Mr. R's Desk
Bobcat Nation,
Now that the 1st MP is over, please look at the data and reflect on the following.
Leading Questions: How many students failed to meet my classroom expectations? Can I, as their teacher pinpoint the reason why a student might have failed? Is the reason a compliant issue, a learning issue, or a social emotional issue?
- Did student turn in all assignments/homework?
- Did student have excessive absences? Do I know the cause?
- Did student fail an exam? Was the student prepared?
- Did student turn in class project? Do I know why the student failed to turn in the project? Did I have a rubric with deadlines?
- Is there a learning issue that hasn't been addressed? What have I done about it?
- Did I reach out to the student?
- Is the student having personal issues? Did I call the parent?
- Has the student been referred to the counselor? If no, why not?
- Is the student having issues in other classes or just my class?
- What other interventions have I done?
More reflective questions by Baruti Kafele from the book titled The Teacher 50: Critical Questions for Inspiring Classroom Excellence.
- Are my students at an advantage because I am their teacher?
- Why do I teach, anyway?
- How badly do I want to see my students succeed?
- Do my students have the option of failing in my classroom?
- Do I hold myself accountable for student failure?
- Am I willing to accept responsibility and accountability for my students’ successes and failures?
Remember, as teachers we need to ensure that we are making every effort so that all children can and will be successful.
