Most all of these are ALSO on the Outlook Calendar!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We are meeting this Wednesday in our SIW to move forward with our Habits of Work Teams – thanks for being willing to “make the switch”! <\/strong>Our SIW Planner now reflects that this coming Wednesday is “school directed” and we have therefore swapped Wed March 30th from “school directed” to “teacher directed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amy’s ask for HOW Learning Targets:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In preparation for SIW, next Wednesday, can you please provide some <\/em>(2-5?) of your recent contextualized HOW’s (Habits of Work) Learning Targets from your class. Our Current SIW Project<\/strong> around HOW’s:<\/strong> is all about how we TEACH<\/span> Habits of Work<\/em> and about how we “REINFORCE<\/span>” the Habits of Work<\/em> to the small number of students who are struggling to master the HOW skills we are teaching. The teaching<\/em><\/strong> side of the HOW coin is, in many ways, equally if not more important than the enforcing\/reinforcing<\/em><\/strong> side. We can’t just expect that all of our students have all the HOW skills they need to succeed… we must continue to teach<\/em><\/strong> these skills by naming, practicing, breaking down, modelling, discussing, applying, reflecting, and assessing in ways that are creative, experiential, rigorous, and engaging… just like our subject content!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n There was reasonably solid support for mixing up our A-B groupings at semester, so lets go ahead and DO IT! <\/strong>Given the feedback, it makes sense to REMIX all three grades and to do a “full” remix, though obviously it will make sense to factor in the value of keeping certain supportive and positive friendships or friend groups together while creating opportunities for change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here were the top reasons you mentioned:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In lieu of 8th grade MTSS meeting this Wednesday AM, I suggest we have 3 grade level teams meet to draft new grade level splits. These can then be reviewed by other staff (including Amy and Delaney) and finalized by end of week, giving Kelly the week of January 31st to get Synergy built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I will send a calendar invite for anyone who wants to contribute.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n We need to keep working on YouthTruth participation – it is the LAST WEEK<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our goal is <\/strong><\/span>100% participation<\/strong><\/span> and we <\/strong><\/span>currently are at 72%<\/strong><\/span> with a grade breakdown of: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n CREW TEACHERS – can you please track down those kiddos who have not completed this and make sure they have get time and support to do so? THANK YOU!<\/p>\n\n\n\nSIW SWAP IS OFFICIAL!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Please put into THIS GOOGLE DOC<\/a> by the end of the day Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA-B CLASS SPLIT DECISION!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
