Week one, post spring break and we hit the ground running. Teachers are preparing for standardized testing, and the district has a new initiative to assist with the reviews. They are innovative reviews, incorporating technology, various activity stimuli, etc. I'm so excited to see the days of pushing packets behind us! I worked with teachers to ensure they understood the activities for each of the ten days of review leading up to testing. We worked on gathering resources and putting together components for lessons.
Also, I started cycle 4, working with Math and World languages this round. I began 1:1 meetings, and am impressed and anxious to start working with some of these teachers. World Languages teachers have new language labs, and they are seeking assistance on how to incorporate and utilize audio/video with the lab. I feel as though new initiatives in math may be put on hold until after testing. They are hyper focused on review right now, and there is little time to stray. In the meantime, I'm working on a Math and Technology Tips presentation to roll out in PLC.
Yay! I'm glad that your math and world language teachers seem on board with what you're doing, and that there is a good plan in place for testing! This is definitely a stressful time, so feeling like you're being included in what is happening is great!
