USA - USA - USA
The drama of the World Cup reminds me of the distinct pleasure of working in a diverse school. We have national allegiances to
- Columbia
- Ecuador
- Uruguay
- Mexico
- USA
- Others that I surely have neglected - sorry
Enjoy the drama, or tune out. Summer is here and the choice is yours.
PBIS Reflection
In an effort to sustain and grow our amazing climate I am going to add this section to the daily blog. So for my first effort I want to reflect on our leadership to resist connecting the actions of one individual to a group.
- Suarez, the star of the Uruguay, is accused of POOR sportsmanship with a "bite" to the back of an Italian player on Tuesday. I was rooting for Uruguay as that is the home country of Silvia Correa. Do I stop rooting for the Team? Do I sever my friendship with Silvia before she bites?
- We often roll out group consequences for our classrooms. Principals have even created policies that target one or two behaviors, yet affect many folks in a deleterious manner. (not me of course....?)
- I challenge us to reflect on this complex issue and grow our practice with students to balance our judgments concerning individual and community.
Staffing updates
- I have made two recommendations to our HR department for staff to be hired that are EIE trained! A network of STEM schools trained by Liz Parry is starting to take hold! I will be able to release their names after they complete the employment process with WSFCS. I will also be able to inform teachers that are on the bubble for grade level assignment next year before the next blog on July 10th. If you are part of a "move," expect an e-mail July 9th. The "lineup" will be listed in the next posting.
I apologize that I am unable to post our winning entry on the new sign. we have 3 lines to work with and entries that garnered votes all had 4 or more lines that need vertical alignment to convey their message. I am going to post the summer enrichment dates and be boring until August.
