TRIPOD SURVEY RESULTS:

One more time – here are the reflection docs for Tripod.  As you review your survey data, remember to review all 3 (or 4) reports.  You can access those by clicking on Reports on the top bar.  Also, click on the side bar to see the itemized details, as well as the section on peer supports, mindsets, and school climate.  All layers provide good data for you to reflect upon.

• Tripod Reflection Protocol: This is created by Tripod and will be especially helpful for those who have never done a Tripod survey before.  The information is valuable, and there is a reflection worksheet you could use.
• Here is a shorter reflection form that has also been used (you’ll need to make a copy).  If you want to use this one, I recommend using it in conjunction with the information in the Tripod Reflection Protocol.
• There is also a Teacher Tool Kit created by Tripod.  This kit goes into depth into the different areas of the survey.  You could use this to assist with reflection and/or setting goals.
• Here is the Longitudinal Tripod Divisional Overview which has divisional averages from all years we have given the Tripod.  Sometimes this is data that teachers find useful in their reflection.

Sports Travel in February 

From Dan Long’s email:  There are several teams taking off in February to compete in MRISA and/or SEASAC championships. While missing class time can be challenging for both students and teachers, the memories, connections and experiences that students take away from these trips last a lifetime. Thank you for supporting our students when they have these trips and thank you to the coaches and chaperones for making this all possible!  See Dan’s email for list of names.
