Written by DMS Principal Leona Hoth Energize Your Middle School Leadership—March 10th and 11th (click here for conference information and handouts) What a great conference! I attended sessions on data, advisory, transitions (4th to 5th grade), student engagement, and mental health (our anonymous safe school site was a hit with the entire session’s participants). I’m eager to share some tidbits from each session, but first I want to share some expressions and tips that were shared from the AMLE presenters…some are too fun!
Hope there’s something here that you can use in your classroom or discuss with your team. Holler if you’d like more info on any of the above…Stay tuned for more…Leona Written by Sarah Nowack and Alyssa Halweg, DMS 5th Grade Teachers At the beginning of December, we were fortunate enough to attend a conference on Standards Based Grading where Rick Wormeli was the speaker. Rick Wormeli was one of the first Nationally Board Certified teachers in United States, continues to be a practicing middle level educator, a national educational consultant, and author of books such as Fair Isn’t Always Equal and Meet Me in the Middle. Rick is a dynamic, engaging, entertaining speaker and we left the conference with our heads spinning with information. We’d like to share a few key take-aways with you (feel free to ask us questions if you’re interested):
Mr. Wormeli even signed his book that was given to us titled Fair Isn't Always Equal There is a lot to think about when considering standards based grading, but Wormeli certainly provided clarity for us and we’re excited to continue learning about this alternative method of communicating student learning.
