week 3 day 1

I enjoy when our EDL classes create and give presentations to small groups. I learn so much from all you guys. CULTURE: you have to look at all the little things that are going on in the school and see if the culture matches the vision. STUDENT LEAD CONFERENCES: I liked the idea of using the fall as a student lead conference and the spring for traditional conferences. One of the issues in the high school is getting more parental participation (especially at parent teacher conferences) INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING: someone you could have help you in the classroom and coach (not consult) you. Walkthroughs (rounds) that help collect data and help create a snap-shot of what's going on in the classroom...Awesome idea. BULLYING: zero-tolerance in our schools. The discipline issue that has been bothering me this school year. We had two separate incidents in my school where students have moved from our school because of bullying. In one case, the three boys only received a detention for harassing a student who had been abused by her father. Thanks to all for sharing .
