Weekly Coaching Communication
Make it a great day -- every day!
18 - 22 February 2019
Hats off to you!
Here's the past week's amazement* (and highlights from Wednesday's morning meeting):
- Of late, teachers have been covering for other teachers quite frequently -- your sacrifice of your prep time (which leads to the sacrifice of time with family) is much appreciated and speaks to the commitment to our CPU family -- thank you
- Big SHOUT OUT to Mr. Post (Matt), Mrs. Barnes (Colleen), Mr. Barrick (Jeff), and Mr. Sonka (James) for moving snow, salting walks, and making their best efforts to keep the buidlings clean and safe during these icy and snowy days -- and unfortunately, they're not over yet . . .
- Thank you to the National Honor Society and Mr. Tjaden and Mrs. Cummings for making Valentine's Day a little more special with the cupcakes and valentines
- Congratulations to Coach Klett and the varsity girls' basketball team on their trip to STATE!!!
- Congratulations to Coach Halac and the varsity boys' basketball team on their clinching of the WAMAC West Conference Championship!

*As always . . . my intent here is not to leave out anyone, so if you know of some great things happening in this building, please send me a text or email so I can include them -- share the greatness that people are choosing to do for our learners and for each other.

HABITS of MIND CHALLENGE . . .
Here is my progress on my two goals:
MY GOAL: To share wonderment and awe with at least one teacher for each day that I am able to be in the building. The observable data will be consistently based on teacher practice and highly effective strategies.
Measurement: Tally record by date for teachers with whom I have noted the observable data. Carbon copy or photocopy notes for record.
For the MONTH of . . .
January Goal NOT Met 0/3 weeks
February Goal Met . . .
2/4 GOAL MET (2 notes written/ 1.5 days)
2/11 GOAL MET (2 notes written/ 2 days)
MY GOAL: To better prepare questions and think of potential roadblocks ahead of conversations and to actually ask the questions that generate from the discussion.
Measurement: Prepare (in writing) questions and potential roadblocks ahead of conversations. When a question arises in conversation, write the stem and ASK IT. Reflect on the usefulness of preparation questions and problems after each conversation with a + or - for usefulness. During conversation questions will be recorded and tallied.
