Celebrations
1. Almost 30 people attended the Culture Night for Coyote Stories and Blue Corn Cookies!
2. The School Transformation Team and School Community Council are responding to a scholar survey in an attempt to help scholars learn the difference between formative/summative assessments, ensure universal access to Aspire, and figure out next steps in supporting scholars to submit quality assignments early or on time!
3. We verified 100% of WHS scholars know how to log into Aspire!
4. The first sessions of Schoolwide Sexual Harassment Training ran smoothly with ready support in Counseling Center!
5. On the End of Year State Assessments, 35% of scholars with ELL services performed at a rate better than the state and district average (a direct reflection on all our efforts with writing/speaking frames, partner discussions, vocabulary, and WIDA Can Do Descriptors)!
Academic Focus
Teachers post and explain SUCCESS CRITERIA. This information can be used by scholars to progress from a new learner to mastery on the new skills/knowledge to mastery. A scholar who reaches mastery is able to teach others the skills/knowledge. Along the way, scholars will select the strategy that will best help them to reach mastery.
Excelling daily on the SUCCESS CRITERIA leads to high levels of knowledge and skills. Scholars will use this knowledge and skills on Summative Assessments, which are 60% of the overall grade.
