10 Minutes Could Save a Life
One idea to hone our craft in balanced literacy is to spend 10 minutes every faculty meeting listening to, diagnosing, and determining a plan of action for learners. You could listen to a child read while conducting a running record, and then create a lesson plan to support the child. You could also do the same for a a writing conference by providing a copy of a piece and a recording of a child explaining their thinking. The possibilities are endless and the resulting teacher craft abundant!!!
January PD Plan
Plan for ReTeach on UA Data
Bare it All...
One Call Does it All
- Remember, no more texting 10 people...when there is a situation on your campus...call security.
- Not sure if you have a serious enough problem to call security...when in doubt, Call Pat Lamb.
