A Message From Mr. Bennett
Teachers,
We are down to our last week of instruction prior to our semester exams. As we visit your classes this week, we will be on the lookout for instruction that is tightly aligned and engaging. What we observe should be tightly aligned to our 15 day ACP plans. Included in those plans are DOL's that are assessed and monitor daily to demonstrate scholars progression.
Remember that EVERY INSTRUCTIONAL MOMENT MATTERS. ACP exams are the first district-wide metric that will be used to determine campus effectiveness and student growth so please treat them as such.
Thank you for all that you do. Keep up the pace so that we can finish the semester strong with the student achievement and campus cultures to match!
Here's to a great week of teaching and learning! Please reach out should you have any questions.
Leadership Matters!
Mr. Bennett
