GOOD NEWS OCT19 by Alberto Zavala https://padlet.com/azavala3/j0lppx2fhz98 Volume I Issue 9 en-us 2018-10-19 17:10:46 UTC 2026-01-22 06:21:38 UTC hello@padlet.com A Message from the Principal azavala3 https://padlet.com/azavala3/j0lppx2fhz98/wish/295021685   We've now had a total of 4 different PD sessions that involved guided reading. It's important. Trust is extremely difficult to come by and must earned. Although I've only been a JRG family member for short period time, I am asking that you place your trust in me and believe that our growth as a campus will come from our guided reading instruction. Every content benefits from having strong readers, but it will definitely take hard work to create those guided reading plans. However, it's was best for our Tigers. I've seen you all in action and I know you can do it!]]> 2018-10-19 22:13:17 UTC https://padlet.com/azavala3/j0lppx2fhz98/wish/295021685 A Message from your Library azavala3 https://padlet.com/azavala3/j0lppx2fhz98/wish/295021709 • Next week is a week.

Proud of you guys. Keep up the great work!]]> 2018-10-19 22:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/azavala3/j0lppx2fhz98/wish/295021951 SWOT Part I azavala3 https://padlet.com/azavala3/j0lppx2fhz98/wish/295024587 I am very pleased with everyone's willingness and acceptance of SWOT. Talking data will always be vital. The pic below perfectly demonstrates the "by student by standard" approach.  Well done!!  ]]> 2018-10-19 22:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/azavala3/j0lppx2fhz98/wish/295024587 SWOT Part II azavala3 https://padlet.com/azavala3/j0lppx2fhz98/wish/295026957 The last thing we need to work on during SWOT is to make sure that we focus on our own personal strengths and weaknesses, NOT the kids. This is the time for you to be self-reflective about your performance not the Tigers.  From the pic below you can clearly see self-reflection from the teacher as opposed to blaming a weakness on kids.  Impressive!]]> 2018-10-19 23:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/azavala3/j0lppx2fhz98/wish/295026957 Tech Support Reminder: azavala3 https://padlet.com/azavala3/j0lppx2fhz98/wish/295032340 I have Book Me and Victor has support tickets; please do not email him or stop him in the hall!
