One Team, One Dream…August 31 - September 4 Weekly Update
Curriculum Connections
- Everyone should be using Canvas this year. We will roll-out the Parent Observer Role by October 14. If you need assistance with Canvas, please let Shemia Thompson or me know. ( See below for Canvas Refresher Reminder)
- You received a link to the SLO Toolkit to be completed by September 24. I will join your team meetings this week to discuss prelimanary SLO/GBE plans before our Initial Conference takes place before October 16.
- The MAP testing schedule will be available before September 2. Testing begins September 9.
- PLC Summary Notes will be submitted starting the week of September 8. PLC Summary notes should be 5-7 bulleted statements that focused on student learning. Please keep the following questions in mind as you submit PLC Summary Notes each week: What is it we expect student to learn? How will we know if they have learned it? How will we respond when they do not learn it? How will we respond if they already know it?
Think about it...
“Mindset change is not about picking up a few pointers here and there. It's about seeing things in a new way. When people...change to a growth mindset, they change from a judge-and-be-judged framework to a learn-and-help-learn framework. Their commitment is to growth, and growth takes plenty of time, effort, and mutual support.”
--Carol Dweck, Mindset
