Arcola Intermediate School is participating in Red Ribbon Week, a drug prevention campaign. The school's H&S Association hosted a popcorn distribution event yesterday to show their support.
This event is part of the broader goal of creating a drug-free school environment.
Teacher clarity is more than simply posting student-friendly learning targets. It’s also about helping students gauge their own progress through the use of success criteria and intentional and deliberate feedback. How has #teacherclarity helped your instruction?
#VisibleLearning
If you've been following me, you know we frequently discuss learning intentions and success criteria on this page. But do we truly grasp the distinction between the two? Here is a simplified breakdown.
#SuccessCriteria#VisibleLearning
Instead of asking,
"What am I going to teach today?" & "What work will I have my students do?"
TRY
"What learning do I want kids to experience today?" & "How will they show themselves and me that they've learned it?"
The jobs always been about learning anyway.
Not teaching.
Buying a used car is tough these days. I would not recommend @FredBeansAutos. They completely wasted my time with a vehicle that was never available to purchase after all.
The kids coming to us are NOT their...
addresses
IEPs
backgrounds
siblings
advantages
misbehaviors
504s
races
disadvantages
scores
or any other quality others may define them by.
What they ARE are LEARNERS.
OUR LEARNERS.
All of them.
Their learning is our responsibility.
"In student centered classrooms the teacher takes on the role of a facilitator, guiding and supporting students in their learning, rather than being the sole source of information."

Hey #middleschools, what electives/exploratory courses do you currently offer 6-8 graders? Do students choose their electives/exploratory courses? @AMLE#mschat#tlap
What could you build with these supplies? Great to see students demonstrating their learning by creating models of plate tectonics.@Skroski_Science@JKircher007 @sking58 @pammoran
An outstanding day at KV! It's the 47th annual Keith Valley Challenge! Congratulations to our 8th graders who raised more than $20,000 for @MakeAWish this year! We are so proud of our students and thankful for our parent volunteers! Great job @kvewerth1 ! @HH_Schools
Learning at Keith Valley MS today looks like students recreating Industrial Revolution machines followed by a shark tank styled pitch. Love seeing the hands on engagement! @JKircher007 @sking58 @LeeVegas20@pammoran
Every month last year, I hung Potty Puzzlers in the bathrooms at the District Office because one of my goals as Math Coordinator was to get EVERYONE thinking & talking about math. This is the first issue for the 2022-2023 school year. @ipsd204#IPSDMath#iteachmath
"Because of that one zero, it will take that student 14 more 85s just to get their grade back to an 80."
