Book Pushers-The FINAL PUSH
We are in the midst of our final push towards end of the year PALS Testing and SOL Testing. This is an important time for our students and for us as professionals.
Please stay focused on planning instruction to maximize time on instruction and reduce time for transitions and distractions. There is a formula I like to refer to:
- Student Engagement= HIGH levels of student achievement and Low levels of student disruption.
- Continued emphasis on Operation Diet and small group reading instruction
- Continued emphasis on "Sample Problems" for students to grapple with and problem solve from the K-5 Math Curriculum
- Make learning exciting and fun (ENGAGING) for students
We have indicators that suggest we are on the verge of full accreditation. We need to have this Book Pusher FINAL PUSH.
Accreditation will highlight the high quality professional work that we do each day, it will instill confidence in our students and our families, and we will have some burdens that are placed on partially accredited schools off of our backs for next year so that our entire focus is on doing what we know is best for our kids.
