SARAH’S IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR WRITING
Get your kids in
the driver’s seat!
Today’s Learning
Target:
I can use at least three Continuous
Improvement tools in my classroom this
year.
- I am ready to get going!
– I am feeling a little overwhelmed
but just need time to process.
– I’d like some help to get started!
Leave your name and campus and I will set
up some time to help you get started!
What could be more
clear in this training?
What worked well for
you in this training?
• New BISD professional development survey
– Less than 5 questions!
– Open-ended rather than multiple choice
– Reflective…
We do not learn from
experience…we learn from
reflecting on experience.
