March 16, 2018


We are BLESSED to have some of the best in the business at GVMS!  We have stressed this over and over again:  GO VISIT YOUR COLLEAGUES ON OUR CAMPUS!  Struggling with classroom management?  Want some out of the box ideas on student engagement?  Not sure what great academic conversations look and sound like?  Want ideas on quick and easy formative assessments to gauge what student "got" during your lesson?  JUST GO VISIT.  One period is ALL it would take and WE definitely have names to give you of people to visit.  Why is this important?  Take a look at THIS EASY ARTICLE about Open Classrooms and just how awesome they are!!

You may have noticed that there is additional feedback on the walk through form, including the different LEVELS of academic conversations.  I know that many wrestle with the student chatter (and we have sent NUMEROUS ways to make it productive) so how do we channel that into productive and academic chatter?  How do we, as educators, go from a Level 1 (much of what we see) to a Level 2 or 3?  Take a look at this article for an easy read.  Also, please remember it MUST BE STRUCTURED!!!
HERE ARE SOME OF THE SHOTS FROM TWITTER AND AROUND OUR CAMPUS THIS WEEK!   SEND US A TEXT TO COME VISIT AS WE LOVE IT!!
