Attendance Matters
- The day before/after a school holiday
- Days scheduled for end of semester exams or STAAR tests
- Professional Development days or teacher work days
Always report your absence in TEAMS and Eduphoria.
How do you communicate learning objectives?
- Are the objectives visible?
- Are they in student friendly language?
- Do you refer to the objectives throughout instruction?
Why do we post learning objectives?
- Help students focus on the main topic
- Begin with the end in mind
- Use and apply academic vocabulary daily
- Ensure mastery and support student self-monitoring
Teach With "laser-like" Focus
Why do you what you do?
Don't forget to post your mission statement
