OUR STAFF ROCKS!!!!!!
You will see above our Campus Goals for 19-20. These align with our district goals and what our campus data shows us to be areas needing focus. Thank you for your intentional focus on SEL & PBIS. It is evident in your rooms, that you are already knowing and supporting the whole child. Many of you have already began small group instruction, with a focus on differentiating your instruction to meet individual student needs. There's not doubt we will be celebrating our success towards our goals again at the end of this year! Thank you!
DC Challenge!
*Kudos to J. Kerry for already adding 4 different examples! *
Once your students are familiar with these icons and thinking skills associated with them, they will become powerful tools to help with differentiation.
Still not sure about this DC Icon business? Ask Nowlin or Mitchell! How could you use the icons to enhance something you are ALREADY doing? Not as something "more".....
