September 9th, 2022: Week 6
Mrs. Danzy's News and Notes
Goal Setting
Greetings INOVA families! As you know, all students took a benchmark test, for each core content area, within the last 2 weeks. Those benchmarks will be used to help teachers design instruction that will support advancement in the strongest performance areas and remediation in the weakest performance areas. The teachers will be reviewing the results of those benchmarks and creating goals during the September 16th professional development.
Students will also be creating goals from their results. You may start to hear and see communication about goal-setting. A commonly used format is known as a SMART goal. SMART goals are a tool to help you achieve a target that you set for yourself. It makes each step or action you need to take to reach your goal very concrete, easy to see. Please take a look at the included video for more information about SMART goals and think about setting one for something you truly want to accomplish in your personal life.
Peace and Blessings,
Headmaster Danzy

Tip of the Week- What you don’t know is when and what life brings, so it’s important that you make choices with thinking them through. No one on earth is perfect but what you can control, is your attitude towards how you treat others and how you bounce back from any set backs, BE RESILIENT.
