This is counselor appreciation week! We have such a caring and hard working counselor - be sure to send kind words to Tracy!
P.R.I.D.E.
The word of the week is engage! Remind the purpose and importance of students being engaged during lesson especially during their independent work time. Focusing on the instruction and practice time is imperative to students' success in academic growth.
Marzano's High Yield Strategies
To go with our word of the week engagement - here is an engagement strategy.
Noticing and Reacting When Students Are Not Engaged:
- Monitoring individual student engagement
- Monitoring overall class engagement
- Using self reported student engagement data
- Re-engaging individual students
- Boosting overall class energy levels
When the strategies in this element produce the desired effects, teachers will observe the following behaviors in students:
- Students appear aware of the fact that the teacher is taking note of their engagement levels.
- Students try to increase their engagement levels when appropriate.
- When asked, students explain that the teacher expects high engagement levels.
Staff Celebrations
Thank you Mrs. Garrett and Mrs. Greiner for bringing in a special assembly and helping our school learn about diversity and disability awareness! This was such a blessing to our students!
