Coaching Chronicles
Decemeber
Month in Review
What a fabulous month of coaching. Seeing each of you in action warms my heart! In this flier you will find coaching highlights, a new app project, freebies, and impactful teaching books.
BreakOut Edu
BreakOut EDU is transforming learning all over PCSD. I look forward to hearing from more of you on Day 4 in January
Just to name a few:
Krista Loomis - Fractions BreakOut - Shelton ES
James Neal - Math One Note - EPMS
Jessica Jordan - ELA BreakOut thru Canvas - EPHS
Denise Black - My Name is Not Buddy BreakOut - BHES
Hiram ES Reading Night
Coordinated by our very own, Annette Watts. Students showcased the Media Center's holiday books using a green screen. See Hiram's movie stars on Padlet
Canvas Badging
A great quote on gamification comes from the book, "Theory Of Fun And Game Design" by Ralph Koster:
"That’s what games are, in the end. Teachers. Fun is just another word for learning."
Embedding the opportunity for students to earn badges by meeting certain requirements in each module incentivizes learners. The leaderboard allows them to see where they are with their peers. A built in privacy feature allows the user to show their name or an image of their choice on the leaderboard.
