Weekly Update
September 21, 2019
- What is my system of assessments? Do I truly have a "system"?
- What variety/types of informal and formal checks for understanding do I have my students engage in?
- Are the assessments that I give common to others teaching the same course? Why or why not?
- How am I giving students feedback on their growth? progress toward achieving the standards?
- How am I using assessments to implement interventions and enhancements for students?
I would like to thank you for all of your support as we announced the cancellation of the 7th grade field trip. If you have any ideas about potential new venues, please let me know as soon as possible. I hope to get information out to families by within the next two weeks, since we have already collected money from over one-third of the grade.
Please see below for some important information.
