Dear Readers:
We had staff meetings this week with the elementary and middle school. We discussed several key areas. Curriculum, collaboration, Characteristics of Effective Instruction(part of the Iowa Core), and several other areas. Curriculum we are currently entering data into a program called curriculum manager which will help the school district align our curriculum with the Iowa Core. Collaboration we are going to have a Wednesday evening demonstration on technology, instruction, management, or what a teacher feels free to share. Characteristics of Effective instruction the staff read an article by Grant Michael discussing what student centered classrooms. Several other areas were the letter home about homework, moving the Polar Express PJ day to next Friday, moving the 5th period advisory to the end of the day, and also on December 15th Mr. Richards will provide goodies. I appreciate you taking time to read the blog and again I will keep it up to date as possible.
Sincerely,
Chris
