SLB Newsletter
December 16, 2019
Dear SLB Family,
I hope this newsletters find you healthy and happy, ready for a restful holiday break. This semester has been filled with new learning and tremendous accomplishments. With these experiences under our belt, we are ready to enter the new year with a refreshed commitment to our goals - not with a compliance mindset but with a focus on the conceptual goals of our work.
School Leadership provides professional development modules, agendas, sample protocols, feedback stems, exemplar videos and trackers. These tools are designed to help leaders implement strong practices to improve teaching & learning. They are most effective when paired with reflection and continuous adjustment for improvement and now is a perfect time to dig in a see what upgrades are needed for the new year.
Attached below is midpoint reflection framework. Since people support what they help to create - please take time to gather multiple points of view and evaluate what is going well and what needs adjustment. Take this feedback to make "your" campuses unique, cohesive plan to maximize success.
And most importantly, don;t forget to celebrate small wins every chance you get! This holiday season is a time of gratitude - and it is best demonstrated not in large, grandiose moments but in the small every day moments.
Best wishes for a wonderful holiday break, filled with small special moments and all the things you love.
