HOWELL CENTRAL ACADEMICS
WALKTHROUGHS--NOVEMBER THROUGH DECEMBER 2019
GOOD MORNING, SPARTAN NATION!
Good morning,
First semester, which was absolutely awesome, has come to an end, and we are right back in the thick of things again. Time flies when you are having fun, Spartans. However, before we get too far in to the current quarter, I wanted to share out some data with regard to CITW and informal formatives. This edition of Howell Central Academics focuses on sharing the walkthrough data for November and December.
As you know, CITW and informal formative are a part of our School Improvement Plan. The information that is gleaned from walkthroughs informs our practices. The goal for sharing this information with you is to inform you of where we are as a building and where we will continue to focus.
Thanks for all that you do to help kids learn, grow, and thrive at FHC!
Thanks,
Andy

WALKTHROUGH DATA FOR NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER
CITW DATA COLLECTED THROUGH DECEMBER 2019
OUR FOCUS...
The second reason for focusing on objectives is that the data shows that this is an area where we can continue to grow. Setting objectives consists of doing the following: crafting objectives that are specific not restrictive, communicating objectives to students, connecting objectives to previous and future learning, and having students personalize objectives. Most teachers in our building do the first three, but there is less of a presence of the fourth, having students personalize objectives. Please watch the video below for tips on setting objectives and providing feedback.
Check out some of these articles about formative assessment that I read this past week from Twitter. You may find something that interests you.
