Friday MM - Day D

Good Morning!

We are on our 34th day of school.  Can you identify areas of general student strengths?  Can you identify specific student targets for focused intervention/enrichment?  "Know your students" is an important slogan but is ineffective without action.  Continue to plan for, and implement actions each and every day.  We have the power to change the world.

One such intervention is SIOP - Read below and follow through if you are committed.

SIOP is probably the MOST IMPORTANT training that we expect all of our ESL teachers to receive.  It is essential that we implement these strategies with our students and that we share the strategies with our classroom and content area teachers.  SIOP strategies should be at the core of our instruction with LEP students.

If you have not had SIOP training, or if you feel that you need a refresher to be recognized as a leader in your building as the ESL teacher, please sign up now for Rosie Turner's SIOP Staff Development on SIOP. 

The dates for this SIOP training are:  October 15, November 19, January 21, and February 25---All training will be after school from 3:15 - 4:30 at North Hills Elementary School.  Rosie is our SIOP Coach for Elementary, but this training applies to all levels, K-12.  You would plan to attend all four dates.
