Mrs. Mathai & Mrs. Sericano-Sewell – Thanks for all of your help in testing new scholars for NAC. Every scholar, whose first language is not English must be tested when they arrive on campus. Scholars are testing in English and if their native language is Spanish, they also test in Spanish. We have tested over 30 scholars already this year. Thanks, ladies for being so helpful for our scholars.
Ms. Favors,
Thank you so much for letting us come visit your classroom for the learning walk on Tuesday! I think this was an incredibly beneficial opportunity for our new SAILS teachers. You did an amazing job during each lesson working with your students to provide quality instruction to meet each student’s needs. During the learning walk, we were able to observe instruction, transitions, differentiation, small group rotations, effective use of staff, as well as the use of visual supports (reinforcement menu, CHAMPS, I Can statements.) I am also very appreciative that you took the time to talk to us during your conference. The new SAILS teachers benefitted from the opportunity to ask you questions. You also provided us with a great deal of information about the structures and routines in place in your classroom, how you plan lessons, and how you’ve built rapport with your students and instructional assistants.
Thank you to all of the teachers who gave up their conference or planning to ensure all of our classes were covered this week!
