Groups 3 and 4 attended training in the Art and Science of Teaching Sept. 13 and 14 with Region 9 staff facilitating the session. During the time together, teachers learned about the ASOT framework with a special focus on Design Questions 6, 7, 8 and 9, as well as the importance of setting goals.

By now you have probably seen one of the Region 9 instructional coaches on your campus. We want you to know that our visits are not evaluative at all; instead, our goal is to help you implement the elements of ASOT in your classroom. If you need any support at all or just have a few questions, please feel free to reach out to us by using the support menu (at the bottom of this page or in classroom) or by sending us an email. We'd love to help you in any way we can!

If you have not accessed the online compendium, be sure you do that soon to take advantage of this resource. The access code is in Google Classroom or the shared folder for your campus (if you are one of the campuses without access to Classroom).

In our first session, we heard about the importance of building relationships with students as part of DQ8. One of the ways you can do this is to seek student responses to surveys. Take a look at some of the resources below that can help you put this practice into action.
