I did ask parents to register via a Google Form, so I will share the information I receive.
Data Analysis & Writing Strategies
I admire the authentic conversations that took place and look forward to seeing a school-wide effort in improving our students' writing (reasoning) skills.
Additionally, I made it to at least part of each department's collaborative PD on Tuesday and felt the time was very well-used. Our department leaders and lead teacher are awesome! Stay tuned for more details about another collaborative opportunity on November 21st.
Celebrating ESP!
Student Conferencing
On December 12th we will be completing our first Mid-Marking Period Conferences during Warrior Wednesday. During that time staff will be reviewing current grades with students and setting goals. With in the next few weeks Dave and Erika will be planning and creating the activity. If you have any ideas or information that you would like to be included in this activity, please share them with Erika by November 16th.
Walk Through Focus
1) Do my plans include evidence of high expectation for student learning and are those expectations clear to students?
2) Do my plans provide multiple opportunities for students to make meaning?
3) Do my plans include a gradual release of learning towards high-level skills?
