JRA is sliding into HOME PLATE
SBAC is over and we must ensure that as students are walking through those green gates that they are still being provided with rigorous learning each and every day.
1. Daily learning intentions should be a part of every day's lesson. What, Why and How should be communicated to students at the beginning and end of lessons.
2. Chromebooks should not be used as babysitters to keep students busy, use of technology should be purposeful and connect to CLEAR Learning Intentions or formative assessment noticings.
3. Videos/Movies & Movie Clips should not be a part of the learning environment without it connecting to CCSS grade content standards.
4. There are no free days = worksheets/word searches/crossword puzzles etc.. Also, working with partners for the whole period should only take place if it is focused and a part of the daily learning intention.
Notes from Damita and Paula
1. Active Shooter/Emergency Preparedness:
As our nation is struck once again with another "senseless" school tragedy please ensure you are aware of safety procedures. During our Emergency Preparedness staff meeting, we were introduced to the challenging task of caring for our students during an on-campus threat. There were some great tips being shared in the copy room and in the hallways among colleagues. Here are a few of the takeaways:
- It is recommended that doors remain locked at all times but maybe propped open.
- When closing the door during a lockdown, do a hallway sweep for students and staff. (If the threat is not nearby, a restroom sweep may be done).
- The A.C.T. switch will never be used in a drill. If this alarm sounds, act immediately.
- Leaving the campus may be your only option. Remember, do not return to the school site.
Most importantly, always know your surroundings:
- What can you use to barricade your classroom door? Have a plan.
- What can you use in or near your classroom to fight back? Have a plan.
- Which exit would you likely use? Have a plan.
Please don't hesitate to share concerns or ask questions.
2. The NEW LROIX Data Dashboard
Click on the link below to access the video that shows the features of the new LROIX data dashboard. this is the video that was shared at our staff meeting this week. The video goes fast, so I wanted you to have access to watch it as many times as you would like. Please feel free to see me with any questions. Please "play with the new dashboard" in the coming weeks in order to familiarize yourself with the new features as they will assist you in our end of year data meetings!!
