A New Year
August 2016
New
This year I want you to make two goals. One broad and one very specific then share those goals with your team. Next, hold those goals over each others head like a weight watchers team. Weigh those goals weekly and make plans to meet them.
These are mine.
1. Create a RTI data driven school with a model that others can follow.
2. Do a better job with the STEM club.
3. I added a personal goal.
Below is a video for inspiration and links to help you learn and grow, also pictures of my Great Road Trip this summer. I have a lot more.
Video that will change your life. I have no words left.

Extension below is a great training app that lives with each Google App and gives you support as you work!
Intentional Teaching
Several years ago Rick Warren published a book call,"A Purpose Driven Life." I believe we are all here for a reason; however, to truly teach it takes a lot of knowledge. Strategies, gut feelings, data analysis, emotionally analysis, science, art, and everything in between must be known by you. Seems almost impossible at times. Intentional teaching means you know everything about your grade, content, and the student you are teaching. You can turn last nights basketball game into a meaningful lesson and even turn Pokeman Go into a meaningful lesson. You have to understand your standards and constantly look for ways to turn every teaching moment into a purpose driven teachable moment. Read the link below for more information.
