This week, the WLMS staff reported back to prepare for the new school year. It is always an exciting time of year for me when I have the chance to welcome back our staff and introduce our newest faculty members. We have such a talented staff!
Each year, during the first week back for staff, Lisa and I share our school improvement focus.
This year, our school improvement focus will be to bring more rigor to each and every lesson we teach. Teachers will continue to use the HEAT (Higher order thinking skills, Engagement, Authentic problem solving, and the use of Technology) framework when designing lessons as well as working to implement selected strategies from the "Teach Like a Champion" book written by Doug Lemov. Through increased rigor and the implementation of HEAT, we believe our students will be more engaged and prepared to think and act like an emerging scholar.
Here are some of the slides we shared during our opening faculty meetings.
