School Goal Progress
It’s time for our monthly progress monitoring of our
school goal. I am happy to announce that we are making progress! Currently, our absenteeism rate is 15.9%. Our goal is to decrease our chronic absenteeism
rate from 16.2% (17.18 EOY) to 13% (18.19 EOY).
It may seem slight, but
on February 4 we had increased to 16.5%. Keep up the good work and please
continue to “cc” your deans on your parent communication. The deans and I will
be contacting parents at the end of this month and it is extremely helpful when
they have already received communication from the teacher.
Classroom Framework-Planning
As educators, planning is an important component for
quality instruction. At Keystone, teachers are required to submit their lesson
plans on a weekly basis in www.planbookedu.com.
In following along with the expectations identified in
the Classroom Framework (Instructional Alignment) and the communication from
your deans, please make sure to include the following in your lesson plans for
each subject/grade that you teach:
· Common Core Standard
· I Can statement (objective): aligned to
the standard
· Materials: including page numbers
and worksheet titles
· Activity: detailed description of
the activities/lesson including engagement strategies
· Formative assessment (exit ticket): something brief that informs you if students have grasped the objective of the lesson
· Differentiation: leveled instruction to meet the needs of all students
· Formative assessment (exit ticket): something brief that informs you if students have grasped the objective of the lesson
· Differentiation: leveled instruction to meet the needs of all students
When designing your lesson plan, keep in mind that anyone should be able to pick them up and teach your lesson with minimal guidance. If you do them well, there won’t be a need for sub plans. :)
