GOOD MORNING:

GOOD MORNING:

Benjamin Franklin, one of the greatest thinkers of all time, used to get up each day and write in his log, "What good will I do today?" and at the end of each day, he would write, "What good did I do today?"  Franklin's list was not very long because he wanted to be sure that he accomplished something good each day.If you answered each of these questions each day, what would you write?

A special thanks to all our security personnel and 
several male and female staff members who assisted with diffusing the situation.  we have made additional security adjustments and I have called the school form which these students came.  The appropriate disciplinary consequences will be applied to those involved who are from NAC.

Again, thanks to our staff for their quick response and professional approach to resolving the problem.

Thank you

PLEASE NOTE AND ATTEND TO THE FOLLOWING:

 Beginning immediately, all faculty and staff, SUNDAY THRU WEDNESDAY WILL BE  DISMISSED AT 3:45pm . ON THURSDAY, FACULYT AND STAFF WILL BE DISMISSED AT 3:30 pm.  If you are currently riding student buses, you need to make alternative arrangements.

 Thanks to all administrators for signing in and signing out.  It is very important that an example is set for our staff.

 Today, you will receive a copy of the testing and homework schedule.  Please make sure that you adhere to the schedule and ensure that there is not a duplication of tests, quizzes and homework's not appropriately scheduled.

 We intend to give student surveys this week. Our intent is to give the surveys to students during 1st Period.  As the 1st Period teacher you will be expected to assist the students in completing the survey.  A positive approach and assistance with student questions will be most helpful.  lower school surveys will be sent home with students and parents will be asked to return them.

 yesterday,  you were given dates about Progress Reports.  Please meek sure that your progress Report is thorough and provide a accurate picture of the students performance.   In extreme cases, you should ask the parents to meet with you at our Open House on November 21st.  However, I would suggest that you not wait that long and immediately contact the parents in question.

CONSIDER:

If the student cannot demonstrate learning or achievement, the student has not failed-WE HAVE FAILED THE STUDENT.

            THREE MAJOR CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE TEACHERS;

1.  They have high expectations that all their students will succeed.

2.  They are extremely good  classroom managers.

3.  They  know how to design lesson plans to help  students reach mastery of their subjects.

IN TERMS OF ASSESSMENT, THE EFFECTIVE TEACHER:

1.  Writes criterion referenced tests.

2.  Gives both formative and assumptive tests.

3.  Uses formative tests to determine corrective help.

4.  grades and encourages for percentage of mastery and NOT on a curve.

THOUGHT:

 IN THEIR DREAMS, MEN  WILL ALWAYS BE FREE. IT WAS ALWAYS THUS AND WILL AND WILL ALWAYS BE.
