Are you looking for an effective way to display scholar data discreetly in your classroom to hold scholars accountable for their learning? One strategy that I have used to hold scholars accountable for their learning and to set future goals in my classroom is the use of DATA WALLS! Data Walls are an ELITE tool for teachers and scholars to track their progress throughout the year in various areas (MAP, GMAS, iReady, etc.) These data walls are visible to every scholar and are frequently used during scholar-teacher conferences, self reflections, and a plethora of other ways to track scholar growth. This tool has proven to be a significant tool in my classroom. Let’s explore the capabilities together!

Are you looking for ideas to build synergy in your media center?  This session gives participants a chance to explore, discuss, and share ideas for building excitement in the media center.  The media program at RHES utilizes hands-on exploration at the Tinker Space.  Students love coming to participate in curriculum connected crafts, technology-related activities, and exploring related books from the media center.  We want our students talking about books!  The RHES Wildcat News is a platform that enables students to share book reviews with the school.  Once a book is on the news, students are on the hunt for that book!  It does not stay on the shelf for long.  See examples of our student reviews and go behind the scenes to see how we do it!  We challenge our RHES Readers to explore different genres, spend time reading, and sharing favorite books.  One tool we utilize is the Reading Passport.  Students complete challenges each nine weeks.  Lastly, we love to engage our students in thoughtful conversations and make personal connections to books.  We do this in our morning book clubs.  Jump in to see how the RHES media program works to capture interest and engage our students.  We'd love to learn from you as well!
