Co-Teaching
If you are wanting to learn more, here is some information regarding a PD opportunity for you and/or teams of teachers from your building to attend. (The initial meeting/informational session will be held on Dec. 11.) Also, if interested, chat with Jo Myers and Clarissa Wiebe who have experience with this model of Co-Teaching.
Tardy Data
Three students were tardy three or more times from November 9th through November 15th There were two repeat offenders who will serve lunch detentions and zero egregious tardies.
All students appearing on this report for the first time received a written notice with their specific tardy data; additionally, their family was notified of this warning.
Gallup Poll
Here is the link to our Gallup Results. We pass the district average in almost all categories. Some notable high scores to celebrate:
I feel safe at this school
- At this school, I get to do what I do best every day
- I have fun at school
- In the last 7 days, someone has told me I have done good work at school
- The adults at my school care about me
- I have a mentor who encourages my development
Some score below the district average:
- I know that I will graduate from high school
- I have a bank account with money in it
Scores for 6th grade are generally the highest and slip slightly lower in 7th/8th grade.
ADDITIONS
- D-Wow folder
- Behavioral Resolution tab
- This week I wanted to share a short article with you that was featured in Teaching Tolerance. This was published as part of their “Why I Teach” series in which educators are provided an opportunity to share their personal story behind why they teach. I believe we grow in empathy when we hear another’s story. I also believe it is a gift we receive when others are willing to share their personal story with us. One that we can return when we become vulnerable ourselves, letting others see the unpolished side of what makes us who we are. This article is entitled: “When a Student Picks up a Book.”
