AMCMS Principal's Office
What is going on in the Principal's Office?
My Challenge to You
Take a moment to read the blog post above. The person who wrote the blog post is Pernille Ripp and she is a teacher, writer, and blogger. She is in the classroom every day and faces the same struggles that teachers around the world face. She writes about those struggles and her success on her blog.
This one in particular is important because it illustrates the importance of student feedback. I am not going to give anything away because I think you need to read it (it will only take 3-5 minutes) and then think for yourself. What feedback can you gather to help you improve your classroom from the point of view from your students?
Think. Achieve. Succeed.

Based off the feedback I have read so far, I am making notes for next year. This is an opportunity to share your voice in your professional learning opportunities.

AMCMS SPED Tip of the Week
Differentiation!

Technology Tip of the Week
BOOK CREATOR
Book Creator is a beautiful, flexible tool that allows students of any age or skill level to create, publish, and share online books.
Creating books using this tool can be as simple or complex as you make it. Students who prefer more structure can choose a comic book layout and insert Google images straight from the app into locked panels. Those who want more flexibility can choose a completely blank page and upload their own artwork. Students can customize the font, add shapes and stickers, hyperlink the text to other online resources, and import audio and video files.
