What did you think of the Six Tips?  Do you have any to add????

What did you think of the Article.  Attached is another copy for reference.

Please respond  with feedback, thoughts, and input to this weeks Professional Development Article on Formative Assessments.  Attached is another copy of the article.

This is an interesting article, very similar to the infamous book, 'Caught in the Middle'. Our students are in the midst of puberty, learning to set goals, trying to figure out who in the world they are, where they fit in, challenging their own personalities, and searching for their meaning in life.

 One thing I disagree with in the article is the 2nd paragraph that discusses that 'money' is only going to get us where we want to achieve. There are alot of things we can do in our education system without funds, but it would require us to work together as teams, be consistent, provide and exciting and enriching place for our students to LEARN>it doesn't cost anything to learn something from a teacher!

Please let Almeria know what you think about the article.  Your input and feedback is greatly appreciated.  Another copy of the article is attached.

Is it me or have a lot of students "checked out" this school year.  It is not even May and already the don't care attitude of students are showing (even the students that showed some promise at the beginning of the year), and I'm not talking about just the students I have.  Its campus wide.
