Friday Focus - August 31, 2018

How can time go by so quickly?  Seventeen days behind us - that's a tenth of our school year already gone!  Mid-terms for the first nine weeks this Friday - it is all flying by.  

Hopefully, MAP testing can finish up this week.  I know that the system being down last week caused major disruptions.  Please start looking at that data (I know many of you already have) and what it means to your instruction.  We will discuss next week at PLC's.

Keep doing what you are doing - we have had such a smooth first three weeks of school.  Lunchroom, hallway, gym, and classroom behavior has been so good and every classroom I walk into has great things going on.

This week sometime - please post your #observeme outside of your classroom door.  Remember this should be a focus from your PGP and include guiding questions that you want people to focus their feedback around.  I ask that everyone do a minimum of one 10-15 peer observation during the month of September.  Email the person you observed the feedback you would like to give and cc me in that email.  I hope you learn a lot during these visits and feel that it is a good use of your time.  There are so many good things going on that I think you will enjoy seeing.

Intervention starts full swing this week - use every second of intervention time!  Those kids need those extra services and we can make great progress with them!

21st century begins this week!  

No PLC's or Panther Time this week.  Remind students that their behavior carries over to next week!

Next Week at a Glance....
