Student Learning Growth Goals:<\/strong>\u00a0 No big changes to report this year with SLGGs.\u00a0\u00a0 The state of Oregon still requires all certified staff to have two goals that reflect achievement growth for all students in their class. These two goals can be shared by a team or can be set individually. \u00a0 When you or your team have set your goals let’s sort out a time to meet before Thanksgiving, discuss, and sign-off on them.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Elementary SLGG Forms<\/strong> can be located\u00a0 here<\/a> or here\u00a0<\/a>and I will also put some hard-copies by the mailboxes.<\/p>\n Mini-Observations:\u00a0 <\/strong>Last year was the first year of the new Mini-Observation guidelines developed in the summer of 2017.\u00a0\u00a0 Below is a re-post of the information that was shared last year:<\/p>\n Probationary Years (#1-3)<\/strong>= Six observations total. Two\u00a0formal observations are required by the state. Four mini observations. \u00a0Two of the minis can be professional.<\/p>\n Contract Employee During Summative Evaluation Year<\/strong>=\u00a0Six mini observations. \u00a0Four classroom observations and two\u00a0professional observations.<\/p>\n Contract Employee in non-evaluation Year<\/strong>= Three mini observations. \u00a0Two classroom observations and one professional\u00a0observation.<\/p>\n Are the Stars Aligning?\u00a0 <\/strong>We will have to see and as we wait, mark your calendars for November 13th, 15th , and 16th when the Sunriver Nature Center will be here with their giant planetarium.\u00a0\u00a0 We are planning that it will be set up in different neighborhood commons each day from 1:00-3:30 so classes can visit and learn in 2o minute rotations. The ICCL Team will be working to set up a schedule and will have more details out to you before the October full moon.<\/p>\n Week at a Glance for October 8-12 Monday:<\/p>\n Tuesday:<\/p>\n Wednesday:<\/p>\n Thursday:<\/p>\n Friday:<\/p>\n Picture below of some of our 5th graders processing text.\u00a0 Thank you for all of your work setting up our students with effective discourse routines!\u00a0 It has been cool this week to begin hearing the\u00a0 shift in our collaborative conversations from our start of the year training routines of “turn and talk” or “tell your partner” starters to more structured and cognitively demanding prompts. (ie. compare, explain, why?).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Carole’s SIOP Instructional Tip for the Week<\/strong>: After asking a question to an English language learner, wait for additional time for them to process the information and then respond.<\/p>\n Why WAIT time<\/b>? \u00a0ELL’s need time to translate in their head.\u00a0 It also takes time for them to formulate their response.\u00a0 Most of them want to answer, it just takes longer for them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n School Psychologist Roles:<\/strong> With the goal of setting up our school psychologists to have the greatest impact Special Programs has created a document that prioritizes their roles.\u00a0 Thank you Kelly for everything you do!<\/p>\n Essential Roles for School Psychologists<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 27th Annual Inventerprise Science Contest<\/strong> is open.\u00a0 The contest is open to all Central Oregon students in grades k-12.\u00a0 More information can be found at:<\/p>\n http:\/\/inventerprise.bendresearch.com\/<\/p>\n They’re back…Day 20 already?<\/p>\n To help us best navigate our first year with Amplify and assist with some staff questions,\u00a0 we invited Skip Offenhauser to meet recently with our ICCL Team.\u00a0\u00a0 Notes from this meeting can be located here<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Colleagues, Below are some notes for next week, from this one, and for others in the future…I hope you have a good weekend!
