Welcome Back!

Tracie and I hope that you and your families had a restful and enjoyable break.  As we begin the new year, we are already beginning with our mid-year meetings.  I know it feels like we just met to establish our goals but now it is time to sit down and have some great discussions about your kids and what wonderful things you are doing with your students.   As you prepare to meet with either Tracie or me, please be ready to share any/all evidence that you have in regards to the Danielson Rubric.  Take the time to look over the rubric and familiarize yourself with the different domains and the components that are found within each domain.  While it might look overwhelming, when you break it down, you will find that you will have a lot of evidence to share/discuss with us at our mid-year meetings.  If you have misplaced your copy of the APPR booklet, you may find the document at: W:\Village Elementary\APPR.  In this folder I have also placed a version of the rubric in excel so you may save it to your own P drive and make electronic notes if you so wish for your meetings.

Please be sure to also sign up for the next two staff meetings.  You will find a link in the eschew to sign up for your choice of two different workshops.  We have several volunteers that will be offering workshops for you to participate in during our staff meetings.  Please sign up for one workshop for each staff meeting by Tuesday, January 8 at noon.  Tracie and I will be taking this information and getting it to the presenters so that they are ready for you at our next staff meeting next Wednesday, January 9th @ 7:20 am.  All of the classes will be held in the fourth grade hallway classrooms.

Have a great weekend!

Brian
