Hi folks! Here is the latest District Update...enjoy!
Upcoming Events:
For all...
Disclaimer...I don't always agree with the articles, but they are thought provoking...good to see both sides. You can also go to the Paper.li site to see more or create your own feed based on your interests My Paperli Site- Homecoming week survived! Kids were great and I appreciate all of the work that goes into planning that week. Thank you so much for including our Elementary students...they really look up to the HS kids and it is incredible to see them interact.
- Goals have been approved...I really enjoyed reading through the different goals and plans. You are taking on some very worthy initiatives...thanks so much for your commitment to growth for the betterment of our students.
- We have been using Teachscape as a walkthrough tool over the last year. This year we have added the Learn component which allows staff members to access videos and resources specific to the Domain and Component they are working on throughout the year. It also allows you to upload your own lessons and share them with colleagues for feedback. Very cool stuff...but we will take is slowly. If anyone is interested in learning more about the Learn component of Teachscape in the coming weeks let me know and I will stop in. It should not take precedent over anything you are doing in your classroom...but is a great tool for continuous growth.
- This is the first district communication since our Edcamp. I was so proud of you. Thanks for taking notes, facilitating, and representing our school in a fantastic way. I hope it was productive and worth the time.
- The Open House was one of the best experiences I have ever had as an educator...to see the looks on faces of former staff, students, and community members almost made the day to day struggles of the construction project worth it!! Ha! The rooms looked great and the student tour guides were outstanding.
- A few questions have come up regarding the Activity Points on the compensation model. The form is available on the O drive and can be turned into the office when you have an activity that you think would qualify. I will approve the activity at that time. If you do not hear from me regarding the activity then it has been approved. I will keep the documentation throughout.
