students will be assigned. All students will choose where to attend.

LEARNERS CORNER
o As we build a Culture of Greatness, our understanding of effective
teacher evaluation will assist us all to grow professionally. The
attached document (it is a long read but good) is a rubric for self-
assessment of planning and prep, classroom environment, instruction, and
professional responsibilities. The focus shifts from a checklist of
standards/criteria compliance to growth opportunities with specific
models.
















Enjoy the week Prairie Hawks! As always, if you
have any question or concerns stop in and see me.
Take care of yourself, take care of each
other, and take care of Prairie.
