Crown Point Junior Music Academy
Monday Morning Memo
10/28-11/1
Thank you for making last Friday special for the students and for helping and participating in Trunk or Treat. The students, families, and community loved it!
As I visit PLCs and review minutes, it is critical that you
are keeping in consideration your planning, data analysis, and professional
learning based on our strategic focal points.
Safe, Inclusive, Collaborative Culture
Teacher Clarity
Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum
As you are implementing the aspects of Teacher Clarity
during your time of safe practice, please keep in mind that I will be coming in
for observations with a focus of those aspects of Teacher Clarity that we
learned in professional development. I
am excited to discuss with you how you plan your lessons and strive to be at
the ideal state of Teacher Clarity below.
IDEAL STATE OF TEACHER CLARITY
1. Students will be
able to communicate (verbally, written,
demonstrate…) to you/others the learning intention
2. Students will be
able to communicate to you/others what it takes to be successful in their work
3. Students will be
able to connect the work to the learning intentions and success criteria
4. Students will be
able to self-reflect and self-assess where who they performed in the task and
what they learned and communicate to you and others
Field Trip Permission Slips-
Please make sure all field trip permission slips have the
student’s name (legibly) and parent signature on all forms. We have had legal implications from years ago
due to this issue.
School Tours-
As a reminder at any point during the school week, we may be
giving a school tour
