Sept. 4th – Sept. 8th
As we embark on a new week of learning and growth, let’s embrace the opportunity for personal and professional development. Embrace your zone of discomfort and explore new teaching methodologies, environments of curiosity and engagement. Take advantage of the available professional development we have on Tuesday. Seek moments of self-care and well-being, and continue to inspire our students with your growth and dedication. Together, let’s make this week one of growth, collaboration, and empowerment as we embrace the transitions that pave the way for our students’ success.
Find at least one nugget of learning on Tuesday that you commit to using in your classroom this week. Share with your students that you too are learning and trying new things. This first super unit is about understanding ourselves. Be vulnerable with your students and talk about your learning from Tuesday with them this week.
