Patriot Pride
October 21 - 28
5 Days
We have 5 more days before our 2nd Benchmark & Common Assessment week. This is our last major data point this will give us direction before ACPs. Due to the new schedule, ACPs only happen once a year so we want to ensure every student is at their best and have their full potential shown on that assessment.
Collaborate with your team on how to motivate and incentivize students to show their strategies and do their best on the CA and ACPs. Our Prep and Preview and Reflection conversations have circle back to 'showing work' and 'student effort' on assessments. Let's use this issue and develop a plan to change student behavior to move them forward towards success!
We will also use this time to gauge our campus culture movement to see if we are headed in a forward direction as a team. Please use the link to take the campus survey as a check for us, on initiatives, and our growth. Please be at your best and answer honestly so we can use this to continue in the same direction, or if we need to regroup, analyze for missteps and steer in another direction. The last two questions are open ended so any specific feedback can be given to help clarify any ideas for positive change - Campus Temperature Check
Have a wonderful week!
Please let me know how I can help or feel free to offer upgrades to me.
Onward!
