“A
fundamental question for a student is ‘Does my teacher like me?’ Given a
rigorous, aligned curriculum, the answer to that simple question is our best
predictor of student achievement.”

Today is the day that we
focus on relationship! Set those norms early with the students and make sure
they know and understand the procedures. I was often told as a teacher that you
should never smile until December! While I don't quite buy that, I do believe
you have to begin with firm and fair expectations while at the same time
letting students know that this is going to be a great experience. Sounds easy,
but it is not!

To
everyone for making sneak preview so successful. We always get compliments on how organized
the event and parents and students were very enthusiastic. You all set a positive and warm tone and it
is appreciated.
To
Kerri McCoy who not only was published in a journal this summer, but also did a
great job presenting to middle and high school teachers last week at the
professional learning days. That is not
always an easy task especially with high school teachers!
