Core Values
One of our Core Values is “Do the
right thing always.” A descriptor
for that Core Value says, “We embrace accountability by holding ourselves
and others to high standards, taking responsibility for our actions, following
through on our commitments and admitting when we are wrong.”
One way that we “do the right thing always” is
through our weekly/bi-weekly classroom
observations. Through classroom observations the leadership team gets the opportunity to see high quality instruction and share the best
practices with the entire staff (staff meetings). In addition, we are able to
give meaningful and direct feedback about teacher instructional delivery and
content. These practices help to strengthen our school culture of growth and collaboration.
Core Values-BWC
We are at that time in the school year where students are starting to get comfortable with you and each other. That comfortability can be good and/or bad. You may start witnessing the following signs and symptoms from your students:
· an increase in power struggles
(arguments, backtalk, back-and-forth) amongst kids and adults
· an increase in inappropriate
physical contact, from fighting to public displays of affection and indecency;
and/or
· an increase in students bringing
items to school that are not allowed, from toys, candy, etc.
As we move into next week, I encourage you to find
that one child who causes extra challenges to your classroom environment or who
irritates you and make it a point to interact with him/her on a daily basis.
Work to build a strong relationship with this student. In my 19 years of
education, I’ve noticed that those students who make a change for the better
are the ones who had at least one person take the time to build a
relationship with them. BE THAT PERSON!
