Collective Commitment of the Week
- We will celebrate the positive.
How do you celebrate the positive each day in small and big ways? I hear teachers comment to students about the great things happening for them, the positive student choices made, etc. Thank you for noticing the positives! It is awesome to see the students respond to sincere positive feedback about their growth and effort!
How do we continue to focus on the positive and recognize them when a student or colleague does something well?
Rigor and Relevance
We spent time Monday looking specifically at rigor and how this relates to Bloom's Taxonomy. The reflective conversations within groups and as a staff got wheels turning about how to move student thinking to the higher levels more frequently and consistently.
On our early dismissal day on the 13th, we will spend our time looking at relevance.
Can you identify the various levels of rigor in the lesson?
Reminders
*Check your website to see that it is updated.
*Grades need to be updated each week in Infinite Campus.
*Hallway bulletin boards are a great place to showcase student work. Please take time to spruce up your hallway bulletin boards in the next week!
