So Glad You're Back
Teachers start 8/22
Welcome Back
The AEC can be a lonely place during the summer.... July is especially quiet and I am more than ready to have our school filled with noise and positive energy. I hope you are too!
Changes
I need you to be open minded. We are going to try something a bit different first semester.......we are going to use Marie as an instructional coach for one class period.
The past few years of data show our students have a huge deficit when it comes to reading and writing. The only way we can overcome this deficit is to attack it across the board, in all content areas. To do this we will couple Marie's subject area experience with your content area experience. In no way an evaluator, Marie will be a resource for you and your students. We will talk about this more 8/22.
Policies and Procedures
In the past few years, before students start, I have noticed we spend a large amount of time discussing policies and procedures. I would like to streamline this discussion so we are using our time efficiently. With that being said, I need you to think of policy and/or procedure questions you may have. I will share a google doc w/ you and you can add the questions to the doc.
8/23
Tuesday is PD at East Junior High School. Parking may be a bit dicey so carpooling is encouraged. Let's talk about how we can have a few AEC cars at East (versus all of us). Tony- is there a bus available? I know you would love driving us over!
8/24
Each staff member is assigned a group (I'll share your grouping with you Monday). You will attend a meeting at MHS with your group- these meetings are NOT the entire school day. Most seem to be about 2 hours. More info to come.
The remainder of 8/24 will be yours to work in your classroom.
