I am not really clear on the “Write-On” Articulation time of the day. Tell me more!
Click on this link to find all the materials for the articulation time. Many teachers have reported that they are excited by this new idea! Our hope is that we will have a robust conversation about the use of both the rubric and the prompt at each grade level. We hope teachers will share what they have learned in the writing process and the scoring of the papers. Remember, this is not an evaluative test for you!!! This is a formative piece that will help us all articulate what we are looking for in a quality piece of writing. Even if you have not completed this process with your students, we hope that you will attend to both listen and share how you assess student writing.
Who will be giving the Keynote Address?
Fr. Stephen Rowan, Superintendent, will give his final address to all teachers at each site. He has given us such a gift in the establishment of the Strategic Plan. We have been so blessed to be guided by his visionary leadership.
