Student Engagement
"What matters is not what we teach; it's what they learn, and the probability of real learning is far higher when the students have a lot to say about both the content and the process. " Alfie Kohn
This and That
- Teachers, don't forget to complete your PDAS Teacher Self Report part II and III by April 14.
- Please take time this week to update your sub folder. Is the schedule still current? Do you need a new class roster? Is the transportation list accurate? Do you have one day emergency plan ready to use? A well prepared sub plan saves the day! Please be proactive and support each other.
"Student Goal Setting" is part of our school improvement plan. Please take time to update student goals after major assessment. Your guidance, support, and conversations with students are critical success factors.
