ADD + TO REPLACE “SNAP” - Need Rep
This summer, the Instructional Leadership Team will be training teachers
from each elementary school in the use of the newest Math Recovery Program,
is Monday - Thursday June, 24-27.
BES needs to send one representative to participate in the program. This staff
member will be able to work with colleagues to implement and use the program in the
coming year. Participants will be paid the $75/day stipend for attending the program and
earn recertification points. Let the admin team know if you are interested.
PERFORMANCE TASK INFO LINK
UP / DOWN MEETINGS
The intent of Up/Down Meetings next week are for upper grades
to share with lower grades about what went well and challenges
in building classroom communities the previous year. There is never
a good time to complicate the discussion with current challenges
of rising grade levels or to predetermine student behavior or academic
standing 5 months from now.
The expectation is to follow the questions in the form below and stick
to them. Positive and encouraging messages that express students’
strengths and interest are always welcome.
