IAR Goals
3rd, 4th, & 5th grade teachers do not need to set specific goals with their students for IAR. Instead, we would like to see you have more behavioral goal conversations with students and communicate that with parents as well.
Conscious Discipline Corner
This is a longer webinar than I usually send (60 minutes) in our Friday Focus... but consider chipping away at it a little at a time... The topic is SO important: Self-Care for Educators!
Teaching Idea
I've got Math on the brain... as I reflect on the feedback I was able to give during evaluations, engagement and questioning continue to be an opportunity that is always evolving! Check out this website that has some great ideas for math engagement and a tool on questioning!
Reflex Math
To all those teachers and students using Reflex... WAY TO GO. Here are the latest stats: We have climbed to 58.3% fluency and have answered an astonishing 872,850 facts!
