According to researcher John Hattie, Collective teacher efficacy or the belief in our ability to positively affect students, "is beyond three times more powerful and predictive than socio-economic status (0.52). It is also greater than three times more likely to influence student achievement than student motivation and concentration, persistence, and engagement (0.48)."
Extended Learning and Wellness: In talking to teachers, I think it would be prudent to begin Wellness during our second trimester. That gives everyone an opportunity to think about how they want to use that time with kids. We will begin extended learning this week on September 23. Tony will have the Gym open for students who are eligible. If you are you able to offer an alternative activity for students during that hour, please email me ASAP.
Assessment Completion
Our current window for our fall screening assessments closes on September 30th. The percentage completed by building is regularly updated at any time on MyCDASchools > Assessments.
