LVJH Weekly Bulletin 9/4/2015
Go Bears Go!
Thank you all for a wonderful week. The LVJHS Administrative Team completed many classroom walk throughs this week. A lot of learning is taking place in our classrooms.

Your commitment to delivering great instruction drives student success! I am proud of our implementation of the Fundamental Five and its positive impact on our campus culture. Keep utilizing the Fundamental Five Practices with fidelity: Frequent Small Group Purposeful Talk; Lesson Frames; Critical Writing; Power Zone (teaching); and, Recognize and Reinforce...
LVJHS Educators are outstanding! Thank you all for making LVJHS a great place for students!

Small group purposeful talk (SGPT) when done even moderately well can elevate lessons into the higher orders of Bloom’s Taxonomy of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

I challenge you to try to work this method into your classroom instruction this week by asking at least two seed questions per class period.
