"WE" make the difference!!
Nancy J Cochran Elementary
"You" make the difference!
Colts, we have had an amazing 1st six weeks. As we move forward, let's be purposeful and intentional in our planning. The leadership team has developed our Improvement Required Plan. This plan delineates how we will attack and get out of IR3. Know your data, plan with intent, and know your students. Inspire your students to do the best they can as we all become better at our craft.
This is our year, Cochran!
Caught Being Good
Keep catching our students being good. Simple things: holding doors, keeping their voice down, bringing homework, etc. Anything that will inspire them to make the right choices.
Student of the Month
Make student of the month a big deal! Homework passes, jean passes. Celebrate the students and make a big deal of the bulletin board.
Anchor Charts
There are instructional anchor charts everywhere! Use them as visual cues, instructional triggers, reminders of the great instruction that you are planning and delivering.
More Anchor Charts
Using anchor charts, thinking maps, and real texts...How much better can you get!!
Anchor Charts from the Ceiling
The more intentional anchor charts you have the more your students will refer to them
FLEE Map in Writing
Students have the hardest time when it comes to organizing their thoughts. FLEE map helps.
When you catch a teacher being great let us know! We want to recognize Cochran's amazing staff!!
