WRITE A CHECK
CAMPUS VISITS
We will have multiple important campus visits next week. Please make sure that your displays of learning are current and have a description with the learning objective posted alongside it. Please, also make sure that your learning objectives are posted in a visible place for each lesson. Lastly, be sure there is evidence of Challenge Based Learning in your space. If you have any questions, please ask me.
REPORT CARDS
As you begin working on report cards for the first nine weeks, please remember to include a citizenship grade in each subject and a personalized comment for each learner. "Chantel is a joy to have in class" is not personal and does not convey to parents that you KNOW their child. Also, if you have learners below a 70 or receiving IPS's, please plan on having a problem solving conversation with Chantel.
TEACHER OF THE YEAR
Please use the following link to nominate a colleague for RJL's 2015-2016 Teacher of the Year. We have special permission to nominate anyone with TWO years or more in CISD. Nominations are due by Friday, October 30. Remember to include as much detail as possible because we will score each form submitted with a district rubric and can only score what is written in the responses. PLEASE PUT THE PERSON'S NAME ONLY in the nomination box. For the other responses DO NOT put their name. This helps us judge based on what is written and not the person.
