Achievement Boards
Achievement boards are
due November 10. Here are a few
reminders as you prepare your board:
·
What Teachers CAN
DO:
o
Display work with a
student’s name and grades before grades have been entered into a grade book.
o
Display anonymous
student work showing a grade, corrections, or other markings. You may use
student identification numbers so long as you make reasonable efforts to
maintain anonymity.
·
What Teachers CANNOT
DO:
o
CANNOT disclose
education records (including student addresses and/or telephone numbers) to
other students.
o
CANNOT post students’
final grades or grade point averages, including giving access to the teacher’s
grade book.
Basically, if the
student work has a score on it, take off the student's name before displaying
it. If the student work does not have a score on it, it is acceptable to post
the student's name.
Make sure to include
the following when posting your achievement board:
1. Title
2. Objective written as
an I Can statement
3. Standard (Common Core,

Team Goal
I can’t say it enough…you’re an awesome team.
Thank you for the conversation around determining our team goal. I look forward
to everyone
providing at least one High Five every week as a way to recognize the
commitment, dedication, and creativity that your colleagues demonstrate every
day to help motivate and inspire one another. I like that you were able
to be reflective, think beyond our normal instructional practices, and place an
importance on encouraging each other. I can’t wait to see the result of this as
our team’s morale reaches an even higher level, which will have a positive
impact on our school’s culture and academic excellence as a whole.
