Warner Update
Sept. 25th - Sept. 29th
Goals, Evals and Conferences
Can you believe this is our sixth week of school? Take a few abbreviated weeks, throw in labor day and presto, six weeks.
That being said there are a few things in the hopper right now.
First, it is that time of year that we need to self-evaluate. This is truly a very important part of the evaluation system. Your ability to self-evaluate and to honestly assess your strengths and next steps makes a big impact on your growth mindset. Personally, I look very closely at how you evaluate yourself.
Second, please schedule a time to meet with me. This can be during your prep time, or before or after school. Our meetings will focus on your self-assessment and your areas of focus.
Third, I believe most of you are aware, but just to be on the safe side I wanted to inform you all that conferences are scheduled for October 2nd - October 5th. This is significantly earlier than most years. The reason for the adjustment is this:
- Several teachers shared concerns about "wishing" they had a view of their students bigger picture earlier in the year. Waiting until November made many teachers feel disconnected from families.
- Earlier conferences will put the focus more on strengths, concerns and ways to grow...rather than reviewing the report card. Let's focus on continuous improvement.
- Earlier conferences allow for teachers and parents to connect and brainstorm ways to improve the school experience. It increases the chances of parents and teachers being a true partnership.
Finally, last week was a doozy! I appreciate the check-ins and the warm pick-me-ups. As I've shared, I felt as though the triage unit was in full effect last week. I really hope our students bounce back next week and we all have a little smoother go of it.
