Austin Staff Newsletter
Share your classroom greatness using #austinblueroos!
A Quick Word...
I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am for the work you are doing in your class and with your students. I know the work is hard, but I also know it will pay off in the long run. You are doing GREAT things for kids and I am so proud of each and every one of you! I encourage you to give feedback on the staff SMORE and over curriculum documents. When you give feedback it shows me you are in our documents and are wanting to improve. I can only help you if I know about something.
Keep up the great work, I am honored to call you my staff and blessed to work with each of you:)

When Looking at Data...
- What pops out to me?
- What do you see that you expected?
- What surprises you?
Remember-Gym duty starts at 7:30am, be on time.
Quarter 3- Focus Items
- Coaching feedback over specific academic areas, Google Form will be coming out on Friday (more specific walkthrough feedback)
- Lesson Plans- area I will be looking at and inspecting will be SEED questions for FSGPT. See below for a resource to help you in this area. Great part, it's already in curriculum document:)
- Power Zone- using your 4,3,2,1 system, running records, notes, etc, to collect formative data over student progress.
- Guided Reading/Readers workshop
"What you expect, is what you inspect." These are the areas we will be focusing on the 3rd quarter.
