Points for reflection:
One thing I love about the field of education is that each new school year brings with it an opportunity to experience the world through a fresh lens. As you think about the year ahead with students, what new perspective, idea, or practice are you embracing?
As we greet new and returning students this week, what is your hope?
A survey for Portrait of a Graduate is in each of your boxes. Please complete and return to my box by 3:30 Wednesday
Schoology: Another school year begins with students in quarantine. Please be sure to post lessons in Schoology. If you want to use the SWIVL to record any portion of your lesson to post for absent students, I have it. We've tried to purchase more SWIVL's, but they have been out of stock since last spring.
Observations and Evaluations: As with previous years, observations, evaluations, and Professional Learning Plans will be accomplished through Homeroom. Reminder: It's the blue house in MyCDASchools. For certified staff, the first task that needs to be completed is the Teacher Professional Learning Plan. A copy of the form can be found in Helpful Links----> This is just for your use to jot down what you want to say. The information needs to be entered into homeroom. If you need help with this, come and see me.
For classified staff, the first task is the Professional Growth Plan. If you have any problems accessing it, come see me and I will help you find it.
The first observation will be in person, but I will also use the SWIVL to record the session. A schedule will be coming out next week for you to sign up for an observation time and a pre-observation meeting. Your work with students to facilitate their learning is the reason Venture High School exists and our conversations around that process is the most exciting aspect of my job. I look forward to meeting with you and spending time in your classrooms.
