Happy GVMS Teacher Appreciation WEEK!
We know that GVMS is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week May 16-20 (and you DON'T want to miss the luncheon on May 20th!) AND we wanted you to know we are thinking of you! Please watch this video AGAIN!...Always makes my heart melt!!
There will be treats in your mailbox each day from us! Hope you all enjoy!
During my walk with Tammy on Tuesday, I realized how VERY different the feedback form needs to be. It is SO much more focused on students and how they respond to the teacher and are engaged. We will be spending time during the retreat to review this more in depth. One of the things that we noticed is that we are struggling to get past a DOK level 1 or 2. In a simple way (by getting students to compare what they are working on or studying to other cultures, other historical times, or how life would be different, etc) bumps their learning from Level 1 to at least a 2 and most likely a 3.
We really do strive to teach kindness in school. Are we all effective at doing so? Take a look at THIS ARTICLE about 8 reasons why kindness should be taught in schools and what the fantastic results are!
