October 2019 |
|
October is where we start assessing progress of State tested critical content and assess how students are making progress. Remember, when planning, lessons should be Grade Appropriate, foster Deep Engagement, utilize Strong Instruction, and demonstrate High Expectations. We hope this newsletter will be useful as you and your team plan targeted, standards based lessons for your students. Happy October! |
