Team,
As we move through November, I am grateful for the care, effort, and commitment you bring to our campus each day. Your preparation, encouragement, and willingness to keep showing up for students make a difference—even when the results take time to see.
Giving our best means being intentional with the things we can control: our preparation, our responses, our expectations, and our follow-through. Consistency turns those daily actions into trust and progress. This week, let’s recognize what is working, support one another through challenges, and remain steady in the practices that help students succeed. Thank you for all the ways you contribute to our school community. Take a look at the video below as we encourage writing across contents, notebooks are a great way to capture thoughts via annotations or glued in graphic organizers. Notebooks are also a great reference tool for students as your walls fill up as well as a great record to look through for progress for our Spring parent conferences. Keep up the great work and please complete survey this week from Hanover and market our HOUSE can food drive for this month.
Charge On!
WEEK 14 | Run the Play. Check the Results.
Last week, we studied the game film by examining student work, identifying misconceptions, and planning intentional instructional responses. This week, it's time to put those plans into action!
The strength of a look-back PLC isn't simply in the conversations we have, but in how those conversations influence what happens next in our classrooms. As we continue through Quarter 2, let's focus on implementing our instructional adjustments, monitoring student responses, and ensuring every learner has an opportunity to move forward.
THIS WEEK'S LOOK-FORS
- Run the Adjusted Play — Bring PLC decisions to life through intentional modeling, purposeful questioning, alternate representations, and targeted practice that directly address identified misconceptions.
- Target the Right Players — Use current student work to refine small groups, lab blocks, and tutoring. Ensure students receive support aligned to their specific needs rather than repeating instruction they've already mastered.
- Make the Thinking Visible — Give students opportunities to explain their reasoning, demonstrate strategies, and apply learning independently. Look for evidence of understanding beyond correct answers.
- Monitor the Field — Use active monitoring and intentional CFUs to determine how students are responding to instructional adjustments. Notice who is progressing, who needs another approach, and who is ready for an extension.
THIS WEEK'S GAME PLAN - The plan matters. The execution matters. The impact matters most.
As you move through the week, consider if students now demonstrate the understanding they were missing, and what evidence proves it. Our goal isn't to reteach for the sake of reteaching. It's to respond to student needs with precision, monitor the impact of our instruction, and make adjustments that lead to meaningful growth.
