Week of Mar. 5-7

I attended a district meeting last week, where we learned about a new initiative for STAAR Review.  No longer will teachers be able to push packets... hallelujah!!!  There will be an intensive 10 day push, broken into sections.  Day one will be an overview, with a dump of units learned and favorite activities and memories of the units covered.  Days three thru ten will be broken into three chunks, where they'll focus on the highest need for TEKS review.  So, essentially, they'll cover three TEKS, three days each,  that are lowest on the school's data for their content area.  I'm super excited about this, because the idea is for teachers to have interactive reviews, using resources from an Instructional Strategies Playlist... i.e. Fact or Fib, Link It Up, Quizalize, Tabletop Tweets.  I'm ready to assist the teachers with activity planning and execution, to help our students be successful this spring.  :)
