Growing Excellence (+10 for ALL) We have made it through 7 weeks with our new instructional delivery model. I would like to encourage you to look at the graphic to your right from TES. If we think about instruction, we must always ask ourselves how much our students are working in each component compared to how much you are working. Remember our students learn more by doing, and the more they do, the more they learn.
DON'T FORGET!!!
The 2nd 6 weeks formative assessment is due to your principal on Friday, October 23. Instructions to submit your formative assessment are HERE
New Exit Ticket Tech Tool
GoFormative is a great way to pose questions or have kids take a quiz. To try it out as a student, take my quiz and test your knowledge on our instructional delivery model. If you take the quiz, and leave your name on question 4, you will be register for a Sonic drink.
Accommodations for Testing
Below are links to accommodations for students taking STAAR.
- Linguistic accommodations for ESL students.
- STAAR Accommodations (see Accommodation Triangle)
- Type 1 Accommodations are available to all students, 504 or Special Education students.
- Read each accommodation to see if a student qualifies because each accommodation has its own set of qualifiers.
 |
| Accommodation Triangle Accommodation decisions are made by the appropriate team of people. Ask your counselor or diagnostician if you have questions about accommodations. |
One of the things that is most interesting to me is the number of students who do not think that college or a post-secondary education is within their reach. Here is data that supports that fact, and we, as educators, can and must do something about that.

What I'm Learning
Have you started your Twitter or Google+ Accounts? Educators across the world are learning tons of information and not spending a lot of time doing it. If you're not using these fantastic tools for professional learning, here are some videos to get you started in both.
If you want to learn about Google Hangout, watch this video. You can't use Google Hangout unless you have a Google+ account established.
