We will be staying in touch mostly through . My address is

My Family

Getting to know You! 1.Something you did during summer vacation 2.Story of your first name 3.What you value in a colleague 4.What is a motto you try to live by 5.What is one goal that you have this year

PASSION Reggie says… “When I suggest we need to teach with a sense of urgency I’m not talking about teaching prompted by anxiety but rather about making every moment in the classroom count, about ensuring that our instruction engages students and moves them ahead, about using daily evaluation and reflection to make wise decisions. Complacency will not get our students where they need to be.” Reading Essentials Ellin Keene says, “We learn most effectively when we learn a few important concepts at a time, taught in depth over a long period and apply them in a variety of texts and contexts, then it becomes clear that we must be very clear about these concepts.” To Understand Allington and Cunningham – The single most important element of any classroom program is a knowledgeable and effective teacher.

Passion (cont’d.) Miller in Teaching with Intention… “My wish for you is that you can define your beliefs and align your practices to these beliefs: How do you go about teaching kids something new? What principles guide you? How do you know if kids are getting it? What do you do when they don’t?” Debbie Miller says, “I believe we cannot underestimate the power of our influence– what we choose to say and do in the classroom profoundly affects the ways children view their teacher, themselves and each other.” “I believe learning is maximized when the lessons I design are purposeful, interactive, and engaging with real-world applications.”

Your Passion, Your Beliefs What are you passionate about? What do you believe about how children learn? What is your vision for your classroom this year? What are your expectations for the learning that will happen in your classroom? What is your plan to make sure that learning happens? Plan for time to reflect on your teaching, on your children; privately and with your colleagues.

What is the core? The core curriculum is based on the 2008 academic standards for ELA. Our core instructional model is meant to support standards instruction through balanced literacy and differentiated instruction. Our core materials for the district are the adopted texts Rigby Literacy (K-2), leveled texts, trade books, units of study and Riverdeep Reading. Rigby materials are to be supplemented by (not supplanted by) these other core materials.

Pacing Guides Common assessments – a district focus on October 19 Pacing Guides are designed to keep your team focused so you can make common assessments...\Literacy Coach\Standards\1st Grade Pacing Guide.doc..\Literacy Coach\Standards\1st Grade Pacing Guide.doc
