September Professional Learning:
September 13th: Planning period meetings. The topic this month will be rigor and which strategies we can use to truly make an impact with our students. We will be looking at John Hattie's research into high impact strategies. The link below gives a bit more insight into who Hattie is and what his research has revealed.
September 27th: Cherry Stanard from Central Office will be here for an abbreviated version of Mindset Training. Her focus will be on de-escalation techniques and building student/teacher relations. This will be during your planning period in the Media Center.
PLC Meetings: Just a reminder that PLCs are required to meet at least once a month and discussion/participation to be documented through Google Forms. PLCs should be focusing on collaboration through the utilization of common assessments.
