September 2, 2024

 


We will continue with our focus on annotated PBOs, academic language and gradual release.   As I presented previously this is our Gear 1 focus for quarter 1.  We will continue to use the walkthrough form.  As reminder walkthroughs are not evaluative.  They are intended to provide feedback regarding a snap shot in time in your classroom.   They are NOT used for evaluation purposes.  
We will be providing Glows and Grows.  Grows are suggestions with the intent that you implement. Also, if you would like to meet with the person conducting the walk through please reach out to them. 

Classroom walkthrough schedule:

Tuesday- Claudia
Wednesday- Lawrence 
Thursday- Tammy
