O3s & Grade Level Meetings

No O3s or grade level meetings this week! Please use that time to continue preparing for conferences. 

Classroom Framework

Week of November 19-23: Assessing

·       Please place your assessing evidence in my mailbox.

o   Due date extension: I originally asked for assessing evidence to be turned in before you leave for break, but if you need additional time because of conferences, please turn it in by Wednesday, November 28.

Continue to collect your evidence and/or begin to think about when you want me to observe your instruction for the following competencies for the remainder of October.

Week of November 26-30: Teaching

·       This is an unannounced 15-minute observation

Reminder

If you are considering a student for retention, please remember per our handbook, three parent meetings/check-ins are required throughout the school year. The first one will need to take place before Winter Break (preferably at conferences).

I know it’s early, but if there is a student that you are considering, please see me sometime this week so we can discuss the process and paperwork requirements. Please note that this is not a final decision, just an initial step in the process.
