Bobcat Weekly Update
We Know Every Child by Name and by Need
December 1, 2017
Lakeview Leaders,
I have hated being off campus this week, but I know you are more than capable and are in very good hands! Like we have said before, as exciting as this time of year can be for our students (and for us) we still need to focus on instruction to avoid any December slide. This includes continuing to provide students time to read and write daily. Guided reading groups and small group math should continue through the end of the semester. There are lots of great ways to incorporate student excitement within our lesson design:)
Christmas Countdown!
Time for Exemplar Educator Nominations!
All nominations due by 12/8
Bright Bytes
Important Technology Survey:
Our school has partnered with BrightBytes - an educational research organization - to explore our use of technology for learning and evaluate access. We invite you to answer a few questions about your technology use and access by taking this quick survey.
Problem of Practice
Our new Problem of Practices are embedded in the slides.
TTESS Planning Calendar
TTESS Pre-conference Form
As we are finishing up our goal setting confernces, we can begin looking forward to TTESS observations. Below is the Pre-conference lesson planning form you will use during your TTESS Pre-conference. It also looks similar to last year, but we adjusted a few questions to ponder so they align better with our Problem of Practice and Instructional Focus.
