The Curriculum Corner: Effective Feedback
Click on the link below to review a great article that discusses the importance of providing feedback for our students. All too often feedback takes the form of some basic praise statements (and in many cases is simply focused on compliance), rather than on transferable skills that are aligned to specific outcomes. Most importantly, Mandy reminds us to make sure students are "active participants" in the process! Have a great weekend and don't forget to share some ways that your students participate actively in the feedback process via email, social media or in the footer of the Buzz!

News & Notes
- Benchmark Updates: Please make sure that the BSI column of the benchmark spreadsheets is accurate, as this information will be presented at the 3/16 board meeting. This will differ on the Math form & the ELA form based on whether a students receives BSI for one subject or both. If you have any questions, just let me know!
- CAST Updates: Please bring all current benchmark data to CAST meetings. This should include blue folders as well. All paperwork, including the "follow-up form" & intervention logs must be submitted prior to the meeting. We are booked solid through the spring...please come in on time!
