How Metacognition Boosts Learning
Students often lack the metacognitive skills they need to succeed, but they can develop these skills by addressing some simple questions.
January 22nd CLT Agenda:
- All Staff Meet in the Counselor's Classroom for a MAP Training and Informational Meeting with Mr. Bailey
- Items will be shared with you after this meeting for links to items you will need for practice sessions, and accommodation sheets.
Staff Recognition
Shout out to our Staff of the Week:
Wanted to shout out to Cheryl Gibbs for taking time to help today to help during our STAR celebrations and make the popcorn, even when I had to take off for other duties. She rocked it out with a smile!! She also cleaned up every bit of the mess for the popcorn machine that is our PTO's! Thank you!!!
Thankful for Carrie Thompson in her role for Title Reading and beyond! Carrie takes time to do special things for her students she serves as well as all of our students in the building. She has been an intricate part of our PBS support and program at GBE. Carrie also serves on our Core Care team and dedicates herself to helping as a member of this team when getting supports in place for our kids and teachers!
Remember: Park in your special spot of honor next week!!
