Teachers throughout the District worked extremely hard at the Institute Day on Tuesday. The focus of the day was on reviewing our new reading targets that were implemented this year. As you may recall, these new learning targets originated from the Common Core, which is a set of proposed national targets developed by experts in the field of education. On Tuesday, teachers had the opportunity to share how they instructed and assessed these targets this year. Grade level teams revised the targets to make them even more clear and in certain instances they increased the rigor or altered when they would be taught next school year. The collaboration that occurred on Tuesday was truly exceptional! It was certainly a day well spent.
