SLC Release Day Schedule ...
Instructional Planning & Prep Day
We were gifted with a release day to reset ourselves for instructional planning and prep. Please exercise supreme professionalism to ensure that we are ready to provide the most responsive instruction for our students when they return on Tuesday and beyond. Please make note that many of our neighboring schools have a full day of Professional Learning set for their staff, with some sessions even scheduled off campus. We have worked hard to protect your time in your rooms as much as possible tomorrow. Please use your time wisely.
The coaches have provided you with a playbook for items to attend to during our SLC Release Day. Please be sure to work as a team to complete these tasks. The key is to work smarter and not harder!

AVID Strategy of The Month: Philosophical Chairs
Subject Matter Application:
In theory, learning happens when students use critical thinking to resolve subsequent conflicts, which arise when presented with alternative perspectives, ideas, or contradictions to what they have previously learned or believed. "Philosophical Chairs" is a technique to allow students to critically think, verbally ponder, and logically write their beliefs.
