Piece of the Puzzle
This Week's Piece of the Puzzle is Sharon Levick. Sharon has been working overtime and on weekends to make sure personnel items are published and on the school board agenda. Sharon was sick with the flu, and still managed to make sure the personnel items were ready for the board meeting.
Sharon is the only person in the Personnel Office, and that is a busy and hectic division of the school district. Without Sharon's knowledge and commitment, things would not get done in time.
Congratulate Sharon Levice for being this week's Piece of the Puzzle.
Can you answer this?
Moving First Choice Ahead--Share with Tod
Share with me a lesson in which you incorporated at least two Essential Skills such as Striving for Accuracy and Applying Past Knowledge through New Situations. Other essential skills are:
Persisting, Thinking Flexibly, Listening with Understanding and Empathy, Managing Impulsivity, Thinking about your thoughts and strategies and their impact, Questioning and Problem Posing, Thinking and Communicating with Precision and Clarity, Gather Data through numbers, research and senses, Create Imagine and Innovate, Respond with Wonderment and Awe, Taking Repsonsible Risks, Finding Humor and being able to laugh at oneself, Being Able to Think Interdependently (with others), and Remaining Open to Continuous Learning.
These are all attributes and skills that employers and the community want to see in the high school's alumni.
Remember--Let me know if you used Striving for Accuracy and Applying Past Knowledge this week in your classes!
Challenge Answer
Yes. PA currently has a fair-funding class action lawsuit occuring in the Common Court that is addressing the fairness of a funding gap that is present among various school districts throughout the state. WASD has one of the largest funding gaps in PA, but is not being highlighted in the trial due to its success for getting more bang for its buck.
