Focus on..... Engagement!
1. Raise the bar (set HIGH, ELITE expectations for all scholars)
2. Manage mind-body states (make sure scholars' basic needs are met)
3. Establish that we are "FAMILY" (We ALL are in this together: REDSKINS!)
4. Sustain emotional positivity! (High energy, positive vibes always!)
5. Teach positive social and emotional responses (Model what interactions you expect)
These are some great ideas to think about as you create ELITE classroom climates that will spill over into awesome engagement activities and lessons!
Nuggets and News
- The Innovation Center: Kick off will be August 16th! We will begin with our mandatory Compliance Training. Compliance training is in the It's Learning Platform. You have until August 25th to complete. You will also get a list of our course offerings for this Quarter on 8/16.
- Supervision: PLEASE make sure you are at your supervision spots on time. If you need to switch, please just let us know!
- Lesson Plans: Make sure data is driving your planning and have your lesson plans uploaded in the Team Drive Folders. AB, KW, and I will begin looking at those as we begin TKES classroom walk thrus.
- Data Teams: Please make sure you know your content schedule for data teams. If you have any questions, see me or KAT. Data team meetings are not optional.
- Grade Books: Grade books should be set up and rolling by Monday for our EOC teachers-- for everyone else they should be good to go. The first safety net will be in 3 weeks! Stay tuned for that information.
- Educator's Handbook- We are working to get you all logged in. Please use EH for your majors and minors. You can also chose to use the paper for your minors as well.
- Student of the Month- Just a reminder we are moving from Student of the Week to Student of the Month. Keep your eyes on our scholars and make sure you are talking up what an awesome honor this is!
- Sunshine Dues: We would love for everyone to join Sunshine Club this year. Dues are minimal. Stay tuned for more information about what the money goes to and what we do in Sunshine Club: Shiny, Happy People! :)
