Martin's Musings
As we all take a moment and reflect on our countries history on this day, I dare say that we have come such a long way and yet have such a long way to grow. On this day I think on our purpose, our mission as educators. Dr. King's quote above says it so well. And, I think it aligns perfectly with our vision and mission.
Inspired Leading, Learning, and Living.
Preparing wise students who master standards, lead by example, and embrace social responsibility.
Keep on keeping on. Use your knowledge, your heart, your new learning with strategies and tools to unlock learning for those students sitting in front of you each day. They are the future. They are the ones who will take us into a new world tomorrow.
Visitors
- Wednesday afternoon the Leadership Shelby will be visiting and taking a brief tour of the building. They are scheduled to be here 2:30 - 3:00
- Thursday morning visitors will be in the building to see how we are implementing Leader in Me and it's impact on the culture. I will be emailing out the schedule. They are scheduled to be here approximately 10:15 - 11:30.
What a great opportunity for our school!
A few resources
- Standards Based Grading -- This is a website with several links and resources. As we think about where we have been and adjustments we may want to make, growing understanding for the practice is so important. http://www.rickwormeli.com/recommended-resources.html
- Schoology - Now that we are 1:1, some may want to begin growing with implementation of this LMS Schoology. https://www.youtube.com/user/schoology/featured
Lighthouse
Here are a few resources to support some lessons on our topics of focus for the next week for Leader in Me.
- Emotional Bank Account - a pdf that explains the concept (more for a resource) http://integratedleader.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Your_Emotnal_Bank_Acct.pdf; This is an example of a document that could be used in Data Notebooks. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Emotional-Bank-Account-1554758 ; and another handout https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Emotional-Bank-Account-1223699
