News & Notes
I am glad to be back on campus after spending Thursday and
Friday of last week at the CUE conference. There is so much to learn about ways to
provide meaningful interactions for our students with curriculum utilizing
technology. One of the things I took away from the conference was how blogging
is a way for students to improve their critical thinking, writing, and
collaboration skills.
I have started my own blog, and will be utilizing the blog
for my newsletter.
On Thursday of this week, we will be having our IPR. Ms.
McCormick sent out the presentation along with the data pertaining to
attendance/suspension, graduation/credits, and SBAC/T4S data. Please look this
data over and write down some of your observations.
West Ed will be conducting walk throughs without site administration
from September 28th – October 5th. Please ensure you have
some type of an objective posted that specifies what your students will learn and
how they will exhibit the learning. West Ed. sweeps can be utilized as a
valuable tool to provide us with feedback on our professional practice.
In The Tool Box
One of the presenters at the CUE Conference was Michael
Niehoff. Michael shared with us one of his blog posts where he explained the 8P’s
of education: Passion, Partnerships, Personal, Present, Problem Solving,
Professional. Public, and Publish.
I have attached the link below; enjoy!
