Something from Saldivar
Week of September 29th-October 3rd
Did you find time to Self-Reflect?
Last week you were charged with finding time to Self-Reflect. By the results of the survey in last week's newsletter, it doesn't seem that many made time to Self-Reflect. Below is last week's message and I ask you to consider the benefits to you and your students in making time weekly to reflect on the your craft of teaching.
One of the greatest things we can offer ourselves as educators who are coaching our students to success is the ability to regularly self-reflect. We have committed to monitor our students' progress to ensure that progress is always being attained. Along with this, it is imperative we find time to reflect on our progress as well. I encourage you to do this weekly and to make adjustments as needed. I believe that everyday I am learning and growing in my role as Principal. In order for me to continue growing, I must make time to reflect. We are all driven by results and progress. We will not know how we are doing unless we reflect. Please complete the Self Reflection Survey below.
