Just a reminder for those who needed to see it, rigor doesn’t necessarily mean bell to bell instruction. Bell to bell instruction and rigor are not equivalent to just piling on more work. A packet is still a packet regardless if it is digitized
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
Thanks so much for the my AVID House, the Visionaries of Polk for creating these AMAZING survival kits for New Panther Academy! Thanks Mr. Lockwood for spearheading the initiative. #PanthersPersevere#WhereMyWolfPackAt?!?! #BlueHouseIsTheBestHouse
Research says new teacher’s leave the profession within the first 1-3 years! Polk is determined to change that outcome! New Panther’s are supported with tools to be successful! #PanthersPersevere#GrowthStartsHere#NewPantherAcademy
@CFB_Soc_Studies @TedPolkMS Thanks for that!! It was great seeing the kids excited and cheering each other on and others getting motivated for the next round 😊
Goal setting and self reflection of student performance is top priority in Heard’s History class! Today we celebrated student’s who met or surpassed their goal. We only “GROW” up from here!! 🥳🎉 @TedPolkMS @CFB_Soc_Studies
In a world where cell phones dominate our attention, it is music to my educator ears to hear passionate academic collaboration among peers! #HistoryIsLife#StudentDiscourse
I always enjoy the “hook” to a new unit. Something tells me My “explorers” discovering their classroom on today’s scavenger hunt will introduce motives for European exploration in tomorrow’s lesson. #HistoryIsMyJam#PanthersPerservere#TedPolk
Management starts day 1 in Heard’sHistoryClass. My leaders identified themselves in a class challenge to organize by birth month and date WITHOUT talking and with no guidance from the teacher in 5 minutes or less was given…they did it. #MissionAccomplished#MovementInClassrooms
