I took minutes for Community School Committee and ELA Dept meetings.
These were distributed to the school community via email.

I also took minutes for ELA Dept meetings. I would submit them to the dept chair, who would then send them out to the staff.

I have tried to be conscientious regarding the content of my emails to parents and staff.  I have purposefully changed my reply status as 'reply' as opposed to 'reply all'.  This is a big deal, and I have tried to help other staff members understand how easy it is to change it.

I have created a reflection portion in my lesson plan template so that I can refer back to it if I need to reteach a lesson or one similar to it.

We started as a group of four.  We all teach 6th grade and we have many students in common.  One teacher sold her prep, so she no longer came.  The science teacher is new to our school and hardly ever came to our meetings.
We decided early on to madke our group focus and our PDPs about EWS (Early Warning System).
This was our first time doing EWS, and we had no idea what to do.  The assistant principal for the 1st semester (GT) and the  Dean of Students until Feb 2018 (LT) proclaimed that they knew all about EWS.  We never got any help from them.  It wasn't for our lack of trying.

This PLC has ended up being just two people.  We have done our best to create interventions for the students we have in common.  Unfortunately, many of the 6th graders this year are very high maintenance, and just keeping them on track has been extremely difficult.  Again, the two people that should have helped us with our students were basically non-existent.

It will take a lot of persuading from others to get me to participate in EWS again.  I feel that we as teachers have been robbed of our potential to do right by our students.

I have met many times with my department chair regarding best practices. I am a great teacher, but it is always good to get feedback from others.

After seeing how this on-line tool works, I am going to integrate it into my curriculum next year! Since we are required to use interventions in our classes for our lowest performing students, this will work quite well! I am looking forward to becoming an expert on this summer as I play with and create simple assessments with it.

Our former tech teacher taught us how to create and use Google Classroom.  It was a struggle at first, but he got me going.
Finally, it was our tech coordinator, who is also our test coordinator that helped me over some hurdles. She actually created a classroom and worked with us to get the little bugs out that we didn't know existed. I am grateful because I am not afraid of Google Classroom!

I keep daily attendance records in my class in a three-ring-binder. This allows me quick acess to see who is present or not. This is matched with a copy of the seating chart, so I can quickly take attendance at the beginning of class.

My grades have mostly been turned in on time.  I have had a couple of difficulties with my elective class, but I was not the only one.  I worked diligently to get things done quickly.  Otherwise, I usually get my grades turned in on time.

Unless there are Synergy issues, or I am absent, my attendance is done daily with fidelity.

Through correspondence via email, I verified data for potential SAT students.
One, C.C. came with a partial SAT referral. I opened my class up to 'outside' professionals for them to observe this particular student. After my responses to this professional via observations of my own, the SAT referral for this student was done. In October, I sat in his inital IEP which took almost three hours. It was the first of many IEPs. This student was eventually transferred to another middle school which has a specific

(also in NMTEACH 4D) While our Test Administrator had a personal emergency out of state, my colleague and I took over the process of getting PARCC materials ready for each current testing group.  This was no small feat, since I only had my own PARCC testing experience to go by.  We had a few hiccups, but all seemed to go well.  It was overwhelming a lot of the time, and I had to put aside some of my instruction in order to get it done.  There was no other choice.

I am on A Team and I am stationed in the 6th grade hall right near the cafeteria entrance. With very few exception, I have been at my duty station M-F all year. I have a good relationship with the students; I am fair, but firm. I allow them to go where they need to if they have a valid reason. Most of them know not to ask because they know I will say no.
