FLO Schedule

For the month of February, we will not follow our normal Classroom Framework schedule. Instead, we will be focusing on completing our second round of full lesson observations (FLO). The second FLO has to be unannounced, so when you sign up, please select three different dates and times for a 30-45 observation. Please indicate your dates with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (e.g. Drain-1st, Drain-2nd, etc.). I will randomly select one of those dates/times to observe you without any notification.

 

Once I have complete your FLO, I will schedule your O3 to discuss it.

 

Thanks for your understanding!

School Goals
