I have recently heard Scott O. say that this would be his preferred way to &#8220;test&#8221; students &#8211; by evaluating the types of questions they come up with related to a topic (Scott said it better than this, but I think I caught the gist). \u00a0Hope this makes you think of potential applications like it did me&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How time travel

interested in hearing your thoughts around ELA curriculum implementation, how she can support your instructional leadership voice, or provide assistance to your teachers. \u00a0Connected to that, you

know, first round of <strong>conferences<\/strong> are coming up on October 27, 28 (or more likely, the 26th and 27th with staff consensus). \u00a0If you are wanting an <strong>interpreter<\/strong> to be at your building you need to request this service through\u00a0Jody McBride (email or ext. 1056) no later than Oct. 12 &#8211; preferably sooner. \u00a0Jody will then work with the HDESD to get them scheduled. \u00a0Additionally, please make an attempt to block out times when an interpreter will be requested &#8211; rather than requesting someone to be present during all\u00a0conference hours. \u00a0All of our elementary schools will also be conferencing during the same dates\/times, so planning ahead and &#8220;chunking&#8221; time will be important in order to have an interpreter

second year of school design work, it is critical that school leaders have time to think with and learn from each other. \u00a0To that end, this coming October Leadership Team meeting will provide minutes for us to discuss school design efforts and learnings across our schools. \u00a0With an eye on a commitment to collective genius, we are structuring this coming, and some other meetings, with a premium on time to think together. \u00a0Part of our agenda below will outline a year-long process that will provide even more time for that work as we will be asking you to visit schools and press into and learn from each other\u2019s design work. \u00a0Please read far enough to note the what each administrator will be asked to share on the 3rd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span

we will examine the mechanics of a crisis.\u00a0 By understanding the contributing components of a crisis, and the variables that influence them, it is more easily possible to manipulate those components to bring subjects in crisis to a more rational state of mind.\u00a0 We will discuss obstacles to communication and how to deal with them.\u00a0 We will examine Composite Emotions and how to deflate them.\u00a0 Emotional Prediction will be presented as a rapport building tool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">If time and technology allow, the lecture will be followed by an
