Deliberate Practice Nov. 2017

Good Morning Deep Creek School Family, 

Thank you to everyone who has selected their Deliberate Practice Element for the year. I want to explain Deliberate Practice a bit more before we begin this season of evaluations. Our DPPs as are the Marzano elements linked to improving student achievement.
Next, here is the official definition of deliberate practice. Notice you are the driving force of your DPP. It is your learning so own it! 
Now comes our part, WE need to give you feedback! Focused feedback. One time visit per year is not a good representation of feedback. Therefore, James and I need to visit when you are practicing your DPP. Please schedule us to come in for 20-30 minutes when you are working on your DPP before we leave for winter break. This will give you a good opportunity to practice and us to give you feedback. We don't want any surprises at the evaluation just like we don't like our students/parents to have any surprises at report card time. 

I want to take some time to explain the scale for observing your DPP. Everyone wants to innovating, right? To be innovating here are some explanations. You have to be in the autonomous phase for that element. It must be fluent for you to use it with your students. 

Percentage of students benefiting and engaged in the strategy/element! 
Let's work on the work together! 

Sincerely, 
Adrienne
