Weekly Staff Letter
October 30th - November 3rd
Planning Effective Lessons (CP 10)
Lessons are the building blocks of all curricular structures. Teachers carefully craft a beginning, middle, and end, regardless of lesson type. By attending to each lesson with care, teachers ensure that all students are challenged, engaged, and empowered to transfer their understanding to new contexts.

- Use workshop 1.0/2.0 when building lesson plans.
- Sign students up for "Homework Help" that are missing assignments and have them contact parents.
