Dec 3 to Dec 7 BE 212 Disciplined

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Many of life's circumstances are created by three basic choices:
the disciplines you choose to keep;
the people you choose to be with;
and the laws you choose to obey.

Charles Millhuff, Evangelist

Instructional Framework 101: IF 101

Domain 3: Instruction - the heart of the framework
Component d: Using Assessment in Instruction
Element: Monitoring of Student Learning

Application: How are you systematically monitoring everything that goes on in your classroom? How are you monitoring groups of students and individuals before, during, and after instruction?

Danielson Quote: They (teachers) monitor everything going on in the class: student engagement in the activities, the appropriateness of the materials and groupings, and the extent to which students are actually learning what the teacher intended. (from Enhancing Professional Practice, p.86)


Bits 'n Pieces + 1 degree more!

Report Cards
Super job, Highlanders! The task always seems daunting at first, but reading how our students are doing and knowing how much YOU are doing to support learning is INSPIRING! Thank you for having your reports done on-time (and especially early!), and for welcoming our feedback with such professionalism!

IXL - Class Set Up Due Dec 3
Please let Lisa or Rebecca know if you need help setting up your roster. Please use the letter to communicate with families by the end of this week about this resource.

United Way Campaign – Talk About 212!
All together, Hunt staff donated $760 through United Way. Thank you for your generosity!

WERA Conference
Lisa and Rebecca will be attending the Washington Educational Research Association conference on Thursday and Friday. We will have an opportunity to hear Dr. Charlotte Danielson, and learn the latest information about the Smarter Balanced Assessments that will begin in two years and connect to the Common Core. While we are out of the building Lorraine Hirakawa will be providing administrative coverage. She is currently an administrative intern at Emerald Ridge High School. No doubt she’ll have a GREAT couple of days with YOU and our students!

A Dozen A Day! Celebrating 12-12-12
Let’s make this a date Highlanders will remember! It won’t happen again until the next century! You all have the BEST ideas for how to make unique events fun by wrapping instruction around it! Share your ideas….here’s a start from some of your colleagues:

Math: problem solving with 12; factors of 12; addends to 12;
Reading: there must be stories with 12?
Writing: List things that come in 12s; Where does ‘Imperial Measurement’ come from?
Real World: Baker’s dozen; ‘12th Man’;

Anyone know anyone who might donate a dozen of something to each classroom for dividing up and sharing?

BE 212: Every Monday Matters
Choice: the platform for self-discipline. Know that every day you are helping students improve their circumstances because of how you:

• are disciplined in your work;
• choose to BE with kids all day;
• you model good citizenship.

Someone looks forward to seeing you every day – thank you for making it worth their while!
