Celebrations
In March, colleagues got together on a Saturday to develop and deepen practice around Meta-Linguistic Awareness.

This year, we have held two day, four afternoon and two Saturday session to build our big rocks, ORACY and Meta-Linguistic Awareness!

Comprehensive Literacy Units-SPANISH
Maria Barreras and our Effectiveness Coaches have been working diligently to bring thematic groups of text together for next year's CLM units in Spanish.
Most of the text sets are complete (with the help of a little literature in translation).  The team finished off the sessions at Custom Education Solutions in Illinois with coaches and teachers!


DL PLC-ADMIN
Admin and Coach PLC is next Thursday at Banting Elementary School.  The team will focus on building their coaching skill around ORACY.  They will be refining their ability to look for ORACY practices and Oral Academic Language Use, and then will use a coaching triad to practice their skill of face to face feedback!
Teachers are invited! Please see your admin to attend this morning to help our Admin team to grow!  9-11AM
