Welcome to the official launch of our Fall 2024 16 Week Teaching Challenge!
The whole goal of this series of teaching challenges is to revisit the learning we've already done as a district (especially EL 201: The 8 High-Leverage Practices of EL Education) and focus our first 16 weeks of school on getting really good at the things we already know to do. Getting meticulous about the fundamentals.
Nothing new. No long PD session. Just quick learning and easy-to-implement, evidence-based ideas each week that can help us get better at teaching so our students get better at learning. For 16 weeks.
If you'd like to join in the fun, here's what you do:
1. If you want, check out the "EL 201 Revisited: Meticulous About the Fundamentals" year-at-a-glance on my professional learning menu here to see the big picture.
2. Put a reminder in your calendar to check the blog each Monday at 8:00 a.m. beginning August 12 for the newest learning or challenge.
That's it! Easy as that.
Each week you complete the challenge, you have the option to enter your success in a Google Form here. There's no outside accountability for this - just good teaching fun on the honor system.
You can complete the form each time you complete a week's teaching challenge. Complete at least 12 of the 16 challenges and log them on the form, and a very small (but lovely) prize will find its way to you. Miss a week and want to get caught up? You absolutely can. Just go back, complete those challenges, log your success, and hop right back in.
I can't wait to see all we learn and do this fall.
Here's to simply teaching well,
