Important Information
Depth of Knowledge
Please review this article about DOK in your classroom. Although there are times when Levels 1 and 2 may be necessary, most of our instruction should be at levels 3 and 4. As I conduct walk-throughs, I will be notating what DOK your instruction is at.
- Filling in a worksheet with students answering questions that are simply right or wrong is DOK level 1.
Pie in the Face?
The EMS PTSO will be selling raffle tickets for students to be able to "Pie a Teacher". So far, myself and Mr. Ramming have "volunteered" to be pied. I am hoping we can get a few more teachers to volunteer. Please let me know if you would be willing. I will be coming around and asking this week. Thank you in advance.
Safety Update
Phones have been purchased. Every room will have a phone. I am not sure when they will be installed (perhaps over winter break)
Locks for doors have been purchased. Any doorknob that does not have a simple way of locking from inside the room will be replaced (replaced over winter break)
I realize the window coverings for your doors are not the best, but I strongly feel they are a necessary safety precaution to have in place. These are temporary (this year). I plan on purchasing "blinds" for each door at the beginning of next year.
Good Professional Reading (or Watching)
Is Great Teaching Sustainable?
