This is an introduction into what effect size is, as well as some time to explore instructional strategies and resources that are said to increase student learning.

 

Hallway Meetings

Starting in April, please begin to have 1-2 hallway meetings each week. As a pole, decide which day(s). It is a good time to begin these again, and our school has a goal of adding back school-wide meetings in the near future. These meetings foster soft skills and align directly to our value of community. 

State Testing

A modified schedule for testing is currently being created. This will be shared with you at some point next week. If you are in charge of administering the exams with students, please be sure you have watched Val's presentation.
