Fossil Ridge Professional Learning
Later in the week we will begin to break down our Goals
and Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum for the 2015-2016
school year. In preparation for our work as teams; I have
included two short videos. The Hattie clip discusses 
strategies that have the greatest impact on Student Learning
and the Rick DuFour clip reminds all of us what the real 
difference is between "Teams" and "Groups."

John Hattie:"Know Thy Impact"

Rick DuFour: "The Difference Between Groups & Teams"

BE EXCELLENT ON PURPOSE!!

  1. I am glad you are keeping parents posted. My son is in 7th grade. He got a great score on the science sage test last year. He also participates in Ms. Hodeks band.
