Frenchwood's Friday Focus
April 7, 2017
It's 4th Quarter Team......
Much was accomplished the first 3 quarters. Students received:
- excellent instruction
- engaging opportunities
- academic and developmental supports
Knowing many of them are a bit challenging, especially at this time of year, consistency with CHAMPS, using agendas to record positive and negative behaviors, using the Miller One Liners, and reviewing rules and consequences is vital.
I know we are nearing testing time, but we must focus on student management. They are kids and repetition and consistency is key.
TTESS Tip #5
As you begin developing a professional development goal centered around student achievement, consider the following:
- What did I do this year that positively impacted my practice? What activities can I participate in to learn more about this practice?
- What have I observed colleagues implementing that I would like to know more about?
- Knowing that we have diverse learners, what can I learn about differentiating instruction, methods, and techniques.
Please be prepared to discuss this goal at your summative conference with your appraiser.
Be someone who makes someone else look forward to tomorrow!
