PARCC Schedule
Here's the draft PARCC schedule. We've taken care of most wrinkles. Let me know if you see others.
Inspiration of the week
Teaching Channel has videos of teaching in action, great for ideas and inspiration. Check out this video of an Oakland 1st grade classroom: a dot talk using some interesting teacher moves & hand signals to increase participation.
Changing Behaviors with Practice
This Huffington Post article by the Yale Parenting Center points to practice as the most effective way to help students change behavior.
And, a little good news!
Our own Kehinde Oladosu, Class of 2014, was named one of URI's Science & Engineering Fellows for 2015! Kenny taught at the lower school for Senior Teach Day 2014 and you may have seen her at the Paul Cuffee Play, where her cousin was Mary Cuffee. Go Kehinde!
