| Happy Lunar New Year! |
Plans to take my mom out for a new year celebration dinner may be dashed for this weekend because of the impending snowstorm, but not all is lost because celebrations go on for two weeks until the next full moon. You are a tiger if you turn 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, or 96 this year. My husband and two of my cousins are tigers.
Region Meeting on Tuesday
It has been quite some time since we've met as a region. I will adjust the length of our meeting to 75 minutes so we maximize time for collaboration. Our objective is to:
Conduct collaborative observations and use low inference data gathered to calibrate and write feedback aligned to the five look-fors and tag to DESE Teacher Focus Indicators.
Article on Being a "Warm Demander" (from Jodi)
I always thought Zaretta Hammond coined the term "warm demander." However, this article from ASCD Educational Leadership debunks that notion and describes a warm demander as someone with an instructional style called "active demandingness." I love the sections underneath How to Be a Warm Demander, especially for teachers to go "beyond believing to insisting." If your school is working on a reset, this may be a good article for staff to unpack using the Four A's Text Protocol.
Mid-Year Assessments
I look forward to us digging into mid-year MAP growth data at our March region meeting. MAP assessments are being administered in every building I visited this week. Kudos to all of you!
