Teaches students how to have a healthy competition and support each other. Promotes positive thinking and growth mindset as well as a sense of "family." It is a motivator/reminder for good behavior. Although some people may not agree that kids should be rewarded for doing what they are supposed to do, we need to remember that they ARE kids and need to be supported in learning how to behave as expected and make it become a true habit. https://padlet.com/nuno_joseph/tre275uvz8qi/wish/341086036 2019-03-13 20:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/nuno_joseph/tre275uvz8qi/wish/341086036 Management of the wheel spins.

I do feel that there are differing levels of engagement with staff and students. How can we get all students to embrace this system and engage with their house in a meaningful way? https://padlet.com/nuno_joseph/tre275uvz8qi/wish/341087169 2019-03-13 20:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nuno_joseph/tre275uvz8qi/wish/341087169 It would be great if more staff could be included in House decisions. https://padlet.com/nuno_joseph/tre275uvz8qi/wish/341089579 2019-03-13 21:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nuno_joseph/tre275uvz8qi/wish/341089579 https://padlet.com/nuno_joseph/tre275uvz8qi/wish/341090303 Do staff members feel that we are all working together as a team? Are people able to voice their concerns or ideas about new school initiatives?]]> 2019-03-13 21:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nuno_joseph/tre275uvz8qi/wish/341090303 We are not RCA, and should not try to be exactly like RCA. But we should have the same teaching goals regarding rigor, engagement, and building relationships. How does that look at GG? Are there expectations of what teachers should doing? Some might feel that they should be doing lessons as elaborate as RCA, and may feel inadequate. Its important for each staff member to realize they bring amazing and different talents to each classroom. Rigor, engagement, and relationships with our students looks different with each of our own teaching style. https://padlet.com/nuno_joseph/tre275uvz8qi/wish/341091191 2019-03-13 21:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nuno_joseph/tre275uvz8qi/wish/341091191 Leadership comes in many forms. https://padlet.com/nuno_joseph/tre275uvz8qi/wish/341093654 2019-03-13 21:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nuno_joseph/tre275uvz8qi/wish/341093654 I'd like to see more sharing out from teachers who have attended RCA.
