THANK YOU, everyone, for a fabulous week together. I hope that you take time for yourself this three day weekend and do something you love. Live out your ONE WORD!
- there are FREE Apple Professional learning opportunities that you have access to that are different from the email I sent on Thursday? CLICK HERE to see if any interest you. Today, I was in a session and they reviewed these topics that accompany the newest Apple updates.
- that you should already be compiling evidence in Bulb for your annual goals? (Of course you did! I've seen the work you did at Wednesday's Flex Learning time!) Don't forget all that needs to be in Strive is a published link to your Bulb. You are all going to be so prepared for your post conferences in April!
- some of our bus tags have fallen off of backpacks? Please check all bus rider backpacks for tags before the end of the day on Friday. Safety first!
- that Coppell Child Nutrition requests they are tagged on any garden posts? In case you didn't know, a grant from their department is what helps fund our CISD school gardens. They are @CISDNutrition, Keiko is @Keikoroann and our district master gardener is @CISDFarmerLarry.
MOY GOAL SETTING
If you are a paraprofessional, instructional aide, or office support staff, I would like to set up a middle of the year goal setting appointment with you. Please have Shanna schedule you on my calendar for 15 minutes. This is time for us to check in and see how I can support you and your professional goals this year. For all others that are evaluated under TTESS, Leigh Ann and I should have scheduled your formal TTESS Observation by now. If any of you under TTESS want a middle of the year check-in, please email your evaluator. We are happy to have one on one time with you.
We had a productive LEEdership Council meeting and got input from learners today regarding the Great Kindness Challenge. This document was created by Angela about our plans for the week- THANK YOU, ANGELA! Please plan to have all learners draw their own Kindness Sign ready for January 25. We suggest they make these their backgrounds on Zoom for the week and that you also collect screenshots of them in a media album to help learners participate in our Kindness Parade and on social media. Please tweet out to @KidsforPeace and #GreatKindnessChallenge to showcase how you incorporate KINDNESS into your lessons. Here is the Great Kindness Challenge Checklist to digitally share with ALL learners. Lastly, don't forget to create a class banner with your face to face learners for our Kindness Kickoff Parade.

Thank you so much to those who attended the Bulb-Documenting Evidence Session on Wednesday. I think just having the time to reflect and think about how and what to add to our portfolio proved beneficial. Thank you to those who gave me some feedback afterwards. I would be more than happy to sit with you to brainstorm ideas as you build your portfolios.
To make the most of reflection, use it to help you create and achieve goals and objectives, and through this build a reflective habit. Reflecting on a single experience can produce significant value and increased learning from that experience. However, reflection’s biggest value comes when you build a reflective habit and mindset and align this with your own set of values, goals and objectives. Doing this allows you to own and steer your progress, your learning community and your personal life.
Building a reflective habit and mindset typically combines at least three key elements:
An ability and willingness to reflect on individual experiences
Repeating reflection over a series of related experiences
Regularly reflecting over a longer timeframe to see patterns and opportunities for learning that we may have missed.
