Committee Updates

Equity Team.  No Updates this Week

Circles Committee.  Reminder to please complete your culture tree and bring it to tomorrow's Staff Circle either physically or digitally. We will be framing our discussion around this.  If you need a reminder of the activity, here are the linked slides.  Please reach out to the Circles Committee with questions.

Consultation Committee.  No Updates this Week.  Please review the consultation committee notes from the meeting on Thursday, 18NOV21.  We discussed Staff Attendance, Learning Labs, and Masks & Technology issues (See Below).  The next meeting is scheduled for 12JAN21.  The agenda will be shared out in the Sunday blog on 09JAN21.  Damon will be facilitating, so please do share agenda items with him!

Announcements

Do NOT upload Grades THIS week.  We've been waiting until the end of the Marking Period to make some adjustments to the course codes.  For example, kids can all be in the same PE class, but for 11th graders, that code is PPN43 and for 12th graders it's PPN44.  If we changed codes in the middle of the marking period, you would have lost all grades, and that would not have been ok.  Jennifer and I will be working this week to align codes for grades 8-12 classes (6 and 7 - you are ok to go).  Then, I'll ask Brodie to re-share the Skedula lesson that shows you how to combine all the codes into one section.  The goal is to complete this work by then end of today, but hold on grade entry until you receive the all clear from me!  

<<REPOST>> January Regents Week.   We will not be having many students taking regents during January Regents week.  During the PowerUp week prior to Regents Week, those courses terminating associated with a Regent exam this year (Living Environment, Earth Science, Algebra I, English, and US History) will be taking a practice regent exam.  We need to take a litmus test of how students are doing in these courses to determine June Regents plans and course plans for next year.  The mock regents will be designed by the Instructional Leadership Team and based upon the course topics you will have already taught by then.  We'll be using these assessments during Regents Weeks in planning teams to determine spring planning and preparation.

 

To Do This Week

PAY ATTENTION TO THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTS
This is the stuff that requires your attention AND it's stuff you need to do!

Staff Handbook Signoff & Attendance Policy Update.  Please review the updated attendance policy under "Sick & Personal Days" in the UAI Staff Handbook.  Please sign off on the sign-off form and update any Emergency Contact information by Wednesday, 24NOV21.  Please also complete the request for a non-classroom work day for MP2. 

<<REPOST>> It's Shopping Time.  Please use ShopDoe to submit your orders for the Spring Term.  Submit your order requests to THIS folder by 30NOV21.  We are aiming to enter all submitted orders before the winter break so that items arrive by the start of the Spring Term.  I know it seems so far in advance, but everything in the DOE moves slowly, so we have to create a timeline to accommodate for this.  

Learning Labs Expectations.  Learning labs need to be stabilized before we can flexibly use them.  For MP2, all learning labs will be fixed and silent.  

• Implement Learning Lab Expectations.  Please make sure to create silent study time for Learning Labs using these expectations.
• Take Attendance.  All teachers should have access to their Learning Lab rosters in Skedula.  Please reach out to Phil/Jennifer if you cannot see your learning lab in your Skedula.  Please take attendance in Skedula and please send students to their correct rooms. DO NOT send students or admit students from other Learning Labs into your room.
• Fluency Work.  Nearly all students are behind in their foundational reading, writing, and math skills.  All ELA and Math teachers are being asked to create fluency tasks for students to complete in Learning Lab (see Rachel & Judy, Math & ELA ILT leads for details).  Students should have fluency work to complete each day in Learning Lab.
• Google To Do List.  All teachers should be posting assignments in Google Classrooms so that those assignments appear in a students' to do list.  
• What do I do if a students says they have no work
• Check Google To Do List - work on those assignments
• Work on Fluency Assignments - posted on Google Classrooms and in this DOC
• If they finish All of their work, students can always read or journal!  Please have paper or direct to news articles online available for students.
• If students need help - have them use email or G-chat to get help. Learning Labs are to be silent work time for all during MP2.  Please do not make an exception in your own learning lab.  It makes everyone else's learning lab 10 times harder than it needs to be.

Per Session Postings

• Club Teachers.  If you are interested in running a club during Lunch, Learning Lab or After School, please email Kiri and complete the Per Session Interest Form.  For Lunch/Learning Lab clubs, you will be paid a prep period coverage.  In-day clubs must be during your prep time for a prep-period coverage.  After school clubs can meet as often as you'd like.  Clubs must have at least 8 students to be viable.  Teachers will submit student attendance along with per session sheets.  <Posting Closes 06DEC21>

Principal Message

Thanks and Appreciation.  As we enter this week of Thanksgiving, it comes at time when the Courts of Kenosha, WI acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse for murder and gun violence.  

Our country is still very much broken, and that weight can exert a heavy burden.  I don't have words for this verdict, yet.  I am still processing much.

However, it is especially in the moments when things seem darkest, that I dig deep to find appreciation and gratitude for those things in my work and home life that are beacons of light.

• I am lucky and am thankful for having an amazing life partner, healthy & funny child, and even appreciate my satan-cat whose love is only expressed through scratches and biting.
• I am really grateful for working with so many dedicated and talented people who share my vision for creating a school and learning experience worth of our students and their families.
• I am on my knees saying thank you thank you thank for having a short week to give us all a much needed break and time with loved ones.

The dark and negativity will always find a way to seep in.  It doesn't need our help.  Finding gratitude or the slivers of good in the daily challenges we face requires intentionality and effort.  Make the effort this week to focus on the good and celebrate the things both at home and at work that you are lucky to have and enjoy.  Celebrate the light!

Important dates this month.  

• 22NOV21:  Staff Potluck - 3PM in the Library
• 23NOV21:  MP1 Grades Due at 3PM
• 24NOV21: Rapid Dismissal at 2PM for All Students
• 25NOV21 & 26NOV21:  Thanksgiving Recess - NO SCHOOL

Announcements

Staff Handbook Attendance Policy Update.  As the principal, I am charged with supervising staff around both instructional performance and employee responsibilities (like professionalism and time & attendance).  

In a typical year, we have always had issues with folks calling out a lot, but this year, things are triple that problem, leading to an increased instability and loss of instruction for our students coming back from an already unstable year of school riddled with countless amounts of lost learning.  

At this date in 2019 (the fall before COVID hit), we have 54 staff absences.  This year, we have 159.  We are almost triple the rate. 

At the same time, staff are tired and exhausted.  All of us are tired and exhausted, and all of us need some space for our mental health.

There needs to be a solution that ensures students receive the high quality learning that they deserve and provides time for teachers to have some out-of -classroom time to catch their breath to ensure that students continually receive high quality learning.

There is no language in the contract (either via UFT or DOE interpretation) that entitles staff to the right to use 10 days of calling out each year.  The entitlement is that staff will be compensated for up to 10 days.  For example, if someone called out on Mondays and Fridays for 5 weeks in a row, they would be paid for those 10 days, but they would also be subject to disciplinary actions because this is a clear abuse of the use of these days.  Also, it doesn't make sense to wait 5 weeks to jump in and have a conference.  The goal is have a conference earlier enough for behavior to be corrected, without further discipline and the quality of student learning is preserved.  Please Review the Updated Policy HERE.

January Regents Week.   We will not be having many students taking regents during January Regents week.  During the PowerUp week prior to Regents Week, those courses terminating associated with a Regent exam this year (Living Environment, Earth Science, Algebra I, English, and US History) will be taking a practice regent exam.  We need to take a litmus test of how students are doing in these courses to determine June Regents plans and course plans for next year.  The mock regents will be designed by the Instructional Leadership Team and based upon the course topics you will have already taught by then.  We'll be using these assessments during Regents Weeks in planning teams to determine spring planning and preparation.

First Power Up Week.  This week, all new instruction pauses as we provide ourselves and our students some time and grace.  Launching this year after a year like no other was bound to have its bumps and curves.  We expected that our best laid plans may not really turn out the way we want.  Turns out we were right, and the same thing happened for our students.

As we travel down the path of competency-based grading, we are still fine-tuning the balance between feedback and progress and summative assessment performance.  Ultimately, we will reach a place where we will have enough information through our student activity and feedback cycles to know how students will perform on their summative, performance assessment.  Ultimately, students will also know how they ill perform on that final assessment.

Today, we are not quite there - but there are definite signs, we are on the right path!

• On the Parent/Student Check In, responses were overwhelmingly positive across all areas
• Community and Connections
• Academic Challenge
• Engagement and Fun
• Representation and Individuation
• Feedback
• Some key quotes
• "Enjoy that feedback is given. It helps know where I am at in the class."
• "They helped my child improve on assignments she had struggles on."
• "I like how it is easy to communicate with my teachers."

The better we get at providing regular and useful feedback to kids (either written on tasks or given verbally while circulating in class or a combo of written/verbal feedback in conferences), the more our students will be able to improve and achieve.

The fastest way to get better at giving students useful and more frequent feedback is to know precisely what you want students to be able to know and do, and why those skills are essential in your students learning.

Being as clear as possible with your students about what they should be able to know and/or do (or say/write) will help them better understand what they need to shift in order to achieve those outcomes.  

This week, as you target students skills.  Be clear with them why these particular skills are the most necessary for the next (or future) units.  Provide concrete examples of how students will know when they have developed competency in those skills.  Give activities that allow students to independently apply and test their own knowledge this week.

In so doing, you will be laying the seeds of intrinsic motivation, which is the our next pillar of competency-based grading.

Important dates this month.  

• 15NOV21 through 19NOV21:  Our first PowerUp week
• 19NOV21:  MP1 Ends
• 18NOV21:  Next Consultation Committee Meeting
• 19NOV21:  End of Marking Period 1. 
• 21NOV21:  Staff Potluck
• 22NOV21:  MP1 Grades Due
• 24NOV21: Rapid Dismissal at 2PM for All Students
• 25NOV21 & 26NOV21:  Thanksgiving Recess - NO SCHOOL

Committee Updates

Equity Team.  The Equity Team met Thursday 11/17/21 to examine classroom removal data in order to identify disproportionality.

Circles Committee.  No Updates this week.  Our next Staff Circle will be on Monday, 29NOV21 at 3PM in the library (then breaking out into separate rooms)

Consultation Committee.  Elena is setting the agenda for the next Consultation Committee meeting which has been moved to November 18th at 3PM.  Please submit any items you'd like on the agenda to her.  We'll be meeting in room 403.

• Staff Attendance
• In light of the amount of absences we as a community experienced this first marking period, we need to update our attendance policy.  We'll be reviewing this in consultation committee on Thursday.
• Learning Lab 
• This Learning Lab policy was shared at the start of the school year.  It is not being implemented.  We need to discus and adjust for re-launch of labs for MP2.   

Announcements

Being Fully Inclusive.  We continue to work on our own biases daily, and still we fall a little short - not out of maliciousness - sometimes simply as a function of time and knowledge.

In this instance, our families who require translation services disproportionately did NOT have completed family conferences this week.  Family connection and partnership are core to the success of our students.  However, if you don't know where to go, it can be an insurmountable hurdle for staff to connect with families.  Luckily, there are many options for language support.  Please make the time this week to support our families whose primary language is something other than English.  Leverage the resources here, and connect with them to give them the same access and opportunities that all of our other students had this week.  You can find all of the below resources HERE.  Individually, they are linked here:

• Over the Phone Translation Support (UAI is 13K527)
• Set Up Simultaneous Translation via Zoom

Also, Google Home Assistants (on your smartphone or at home device) also provide translation support if you cannot get support via the DOE services.  Find out how to use this feature by clicking here.  

 

To Do This Week

PAY ATTENTION TO THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTS
This is the stuff that requires your attention AND it's stuff you need to do!

PowerUp Learning Lab Reset.  This week, please reset ALL learning labs to be silent, independent work time.  I will send an email to families and kids this week to clarify expectations.  I need all teachers to enforce expectations.  

In the Principal Advisory Group this week, the kids expressed that they wished their teachers all enforced the same expectations for learning lab.  It is very hard for students to negotiate multiple expectations.  It is very hard for teachers to feel like they are the only one implementing expectations.

THUS, for everyone to be successful, we all must be pulling in the same direction, consistently. Please make sure that in learning labs this week, your enforce that:

• ONLY students assigned to your learning lab are in your room.
• Teachers can use small group time to work with kids this week.
• Please do NOT bring students into your learning lab this week.  It will confuse things.
• All students must work silently this week to provide quiet time for all students to complete work assigned and/or foundational skill activities assigned by their teachers.
• If students need to work with peers, they can do so in writing via G-chat or comments on a shared G-Doc.  But there is to be NO talking - only silent work.
• Students MUST work on academic work this week.  
• DRP and MAP math data show that almost 100% of students are below or well below grade level.  Therefore, students should be working on fluency work. All ELA and Math teachers should be assigning fluency exercises (via Khan, Delta Math, etc.) or independent reading for students to complete in Learning Lab.
• Any student with <90% in their courses should be working on course work assigned by their teachers to improve grades.  If students say they have no work, have them show you their Grades in PupilPath.
• This is the week to catch up and/or solidify skills and knowledge that kids will need the most as they move forward in your course.

<<REPOST>> It's Shopping Time.  Please use ShopDoe to submit your orders for the Spring Term.  Submit your order requests to THIS folder by 30NOV21.  We are aiming to enter all submitted orders before the winter break so that items arrive by the start of the Spring Term.  I know it seems so far in advance, but everything in the DOE moves slowly, so we have to create a timeline to accommodate for this.  

MP1 Ends Friday.  Marking Period 1 ends on Friday 19NOV21.  Grades are due on 22NOV21 at 3PM.  

Complete Remaining Parent Conferences.  Overall, almost every single advisor did a great job in connecting with families.  Almost every advisor connect with all advisees or only have 1-2 remaining.  We do have a couple of advisors with more than 2 advisees remaining.  Annie, Jen & I will be reaching out directly to those folks this week to see what's happening and how we can support.  For everyone,
PLEASE CONTINUE TO REACH OUT To FAMILIES AND COMPLETE ALL CONFERENCES BY TUESDAY

Focusing on the Foundations.  This is the last instructional week of our first marking period.  In speaking with lots of folks the resounding theme of instruction this marking period is that while it is so much better to teach in person with real, live, little humans, those same little humans have significant gaps in their learning.

As a result, units that pre-covid took 3 weeks are now taking 5-6 weeks.  We are all learning to readjust our assumptions on what kids know and shifting our practice to plan from where they actually are vs. where we would expect them to be.

It turns out - that IS the best practice both pre-during-and-quasi-post covid times.

So, our challenge this year is to find the right mix of introducing and developing new content and skills with backfilling and strengthening their foundational skills.  While this has always been the requirement, this year, the scope of foundational skill gaps is much more significant for all students and as such is requiring more space and time in the curriculum.

AND that is OK!

Sal Khan talks this idea in his Ted Talk "Let's Teach for Mastery - Not Test Scores".  In this talk, he describes what many HS math teachers experience as they try to teach more advanced math skills with their students.  He asks, "Would you choose to build a house on top of an unfinished foundation? Of course not. Why, then, do we rush students through education when they haven't always grasped the basics?"

This is the core of our work this year towards Competency (aka Mastery) Based Learning.  The core is not to see how many standards we can get TO, but rather we are aiming to develop high competency in the standards are choosing to teach.  Now, more than ever - less is more.

As you engage your students in summative assessment work this week, do not be surprised if many students do not yet meet proficiency expectations.  We are still fine tuning our capacity to plan and coordinate progress activities, formative assessment, and effective feedback to help students develop mastery.  Our students are still acquiring the core social emotional skills required to ensure academic achievement in class.  As we develop our own skills in supporting students SEL development and planning our own competency-based curricula, we will see outcomes in students performance & improvement, and thus increased outcomes in their grades.

Until we are more developed, we will have some scaffolds to support our work - our PowerUp Week.  The last week of each marking period is designed to have NO new instruction so that you can use data from the final summative assessment to create tailored activities for students (e.g. station work, asynchronous lessons, conferences, small group instruction, etc.). For your students meeting or exceeding standards, they should have activities that deepen their understanding of the standards taught in MP1.  For students not quite there yet, plan small instructional groups during class to remediate and support student learning and preparation for the next unit.

In particular, if you require students to develop the skill of doing work outside of your class, that is an academic behavior that needs to be taught.  You'll need to build out lessons and expectations that connect independent work outside of the classroom to learning and performance on the final summative assessments.  For example, a small group activity might look like

• Targeting a single skill (multiplication fluency or sight word recognition)
• Small Group Direct Instruction on the skill in Class
• Independent Practice on Skill in Class with Teacher Conference & Feedback.  For example 
• Independent Reading:  Lexile Text Comparision Chart
• Online Math Practice:  Math RIT to Khan Academy Lessons
• At home "corrections" or retake on related questions on summative assessment with reflection on how the skill work made doing the work again (or correcting their work) improved.

Like almost everything we're doing this year, it's time to rethink our assumption around why kids don't do work outside of our classes.  Take a listen to this podcast from Hidden Brain, The Obstacles You Don't See.  Rather than think of what you can do to fuel motivation via a carrot/stick, think about what may be getting in the way of students doing what you need them to do to optimize learning.  These "frictions" are often right out in the open, and many times are easier to address and remove.  If you get stuck on figuring out what is happening in your kids' heads, make time during PowerUp week to simply talk to them.  Create conference time to sit down and talk during class and find out for sure what makes your kids tick!

6th & 7th Grade Advisors.  For those kids in your advisories who are 11 and under, we are hosting a Pop-Up Vaccine Clinic on Monday, 08NOV21.  Students who get vaccinated are eligible for a $100 gift card from the city!  Parents can either accompany kids or provide written or verbal (over the phone) consent.   Please connect with your students who are eligible to let them know!

Google Home Can Translate.  Many of you may have already known this, but I accidentally discovered it this weekend when my Google Home device became a Spanish language translator while Dashiel and I were working on his homework.  At least for Spanish, it was fairly accurate, but I am not 100% sure how accurate it is in other languages.  I'm sure it will be able to provide the gist!  I'm sure Alexa and the Amazon Echo do the same thing.  Check it out by clicking here.  You could certainly use this during parent conferences if you are not able to connect with support from the DOE over-the-phone interpretation support (be on the lookout for an email from Laura with details on that!)
