Week of September 26th

Hilsman Rockstars:

We hope you have had a relaxing and restful weekend! This coming week, please continue the work of excellence you do each day alongside our students.  We received some very positive feedback from Dr. Lanoue and Dr. Gant from their walk-throughs on Thursday.  They observed the higher order questioning, a strong instructional framework, overwhelming evidence of your collaborative planning, and solid classroom management.  Both Dr. Lanoue and Dr. Gant are now pushing us to take it the next level.  A couple of caveats based on their feedback:

1) Make sure we are using computer-based interventions coupled with effective instruction.  We don't want to appear as though the computer is babysitting the student.

2) ELT time is where we can really make gains with our students.  Use this time to engage in meaningful, inquiry-based learning.  Ms. Hogan will provide resources for you all to support ELT instruction.
