MCP3 Staff News

Greetings MCP3 Team!

Our ABC Countdown is off to a strong start! You all are doing an amazing job bringing creative experiences and making lasting memories for our scholars in these final weeks of K3! Be sure to keep up the positive momentum around the letter day themed activities.

BIG BIG shout outs to the Elephant and Gator classrooms! Their Spring TPOT observations both showed tremendous growth in strategies that support the social and emotional well-being of our scholars and I am so proud of Ms. Moon's and Ms. Mitchell's reflections during their debrief sessions! Well done ladies!

Spring TPOT Observations

During the week of 5/11 & 5/18 all classrooms will receive their end of year/Spring full TPOT observation. The full TPOT will include a 2 hour classroom observation, a teacher interview, and a debrief session. Interviews and debrief sessions will take the place of 1:1s these weeks. Spring TPOTs are conducted to see the growth in implementing Pyramid Model key practices over a period of time and teams will get to compare their Spring data to their Fall data. During the debrief, teachers will get to celebrate growth, their hard work, and how coaching directly impacted their growth.

Please refer to this Spring TPOT Schedule. Calendar invites have been sent out accordingly. I included the EA on the interview for reference of the time, as some staff lunch times will need to be adjusted that day. However, the EA does not need to attend the interview. Classroom teams will have the opportunity to discuss growth in their classrooms of TPOT during the weekly T/EA time. I look forward to observing in your classrooms and being able to celebrate with you your success and growth of Pyramid Model strategies that support our scholars' social and emotional development.
