Good Morning Deep Creek School Family,
Starbucks is carrying pumpkin spice again so it must be fall, right? The weather certainly doesn't feel like fall yet. Fall does bring about the beginning of the evaluation process. We have shared all the elements for informal and formal observations this year.
Hopefully you will see some transfer between the CCPS framework and Hattie's recommendations.
Just a few reminders from the beginning of the year.
We learned a few things from Bold School by Weston Kieschnick.
Once we understand the learning outcome, we ask ourselves which high effect-size strategies will best help us meet our learning outcomes. We don’t even start thinking about tech tools until step 3 of the Bold School Framework for Strategic Blended Instruction.
Ask yourself...How can I leverage digital tools, to support instructional strategies, in the pursuit of meeting rigorous and relevant academic student outcomes?
What gets planned gets done. We can’t plan for success until we understand our academic outcomes (know the standards), we know which strategies give us the best bang for our buck in meeting those outcomes, and we understand which digital tools can best support these strategies.
How do we know if what we’ve planned is even any good? This frameworks can all help us to evaluate our planning and assess for rigor and relevance.
Invite us in early and often to take some of the stress of the end of the year! The best part of our days are when we can visit classrooms.
"The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual." Vince Lombardi
Don't forget to review the master calendar!
Sincerely,
Adrienne & James
