<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The picture below cuts to the heart of <b><u>Equality vs. Equity</u></b> in the educational environment. If <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;"><b><u>equality </u></b></em>means giving everyone the same resources/opportunities, <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;"><b><u>equity</u></b></em> means giving each student access to the resources/opportunities they need to learn and thrive...otherwise known as "meeting individual students where they are at in order to get them were they need to be." At Fossil Ridge we have 920 total students, teachers generally have approximately 150 students on their roles, and each child is unique; with different skills, abilities, life experiences, and backgrounds. It can be extraordinarily difficult for educators to meet the needs of ALL students, especially students with disabilities, students from poverty, minority students, and students lacking pre-requisite skills necessary for academic success. </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If we’re committed to the success of every child, and truly believe that </span><b style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>"All students can/will learn at high levels", </i></b><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">we must acknowledge the uneven playing field that exists for many students. We must continue to hold ALL students to high expectations, and we must ensure that EVERY student gets the opportunities and resources they need to be successful...<b>ALL STUDENTS MUST BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE GREAT!!</b></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheqg-qZUeWEIGBPiH1IJD3fUXo-6x9J5RjRao1l0N8u4BQkFl3NC0rl2p_e9nj7xW98AWJdpAbKXapu98cLJvVj33Svnx7f9Z2ODLT7YHbZqHZ2J25kdTTbIH27A6hZ0LudgcpxOq0R6HN/s1600/Equality-Vs-Equity..final-edit-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: transparent; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="348" data-original-width="561" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheqg-qZUeWEIGBPiH1IJD3fUXo-6x9J5RjRao1l0N8u4BQkFl3NC0rl2p_e9nj7xW98AWJdpAbKXapu98cLJvVj33Svnx7f9Z2ODLT7YHbZqHZ2J25kdTTbIH27A6hZ0LudgcpxOq0R6HN/s640/Equality-Vs-Equity..final-edit-1.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-weight: bold;">We are not defined by our successes, or our failures. Nor are we defined by our financial status, or level of formal education. What defines us as human beings are the relationships we have with other people. As educators we are in a unique position to influence the lives of our students and colleagues on a daily basis. Relationships are at the "core" of who we are and what we do...I want to Thank our Faculty and Staff for Loving our Kids! For Believing in our Kids! For doing Whatever It Takes to provide our Kids with the educational experience they deserve! Its a Great Year to be a T-Rex!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">We are off to a great start at Fossil Ridge! The first two weeks have seen numerous successes and celebrations of teaching and learning...<i>our new 6th graders have even figured out where all their classes are</i>! :) We have worked hard to ensure that school-wide expectations, classroom expectations, and learning expectations have been clearly communicated with each one of our 920 students. One of our school-wide goals/challenges this year is to find the "Hidden Gems" among us at Fossil Ridge, to seek out the stories of our kids, and to ensure that ALL 920 feel important and loved. Learning begins with relationships. Relationships are critically important at Fossil Ridge, and are at the heart of everything we do...because that's <b>How We Do Things at Fossil Ridge Intermediate!</b></span><br />

August 20th-August 24th, 2018<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><u>WEEKLY MESSAGE</u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Welcome Back to School... </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>“It’s a Great Day to be a T-Rex!”</b> At Fossil Ridge Intermediate School we are passionately committed to the fundamental purpose and benefits of the Professional Learning Community Framework. We believe our everyday focus should rely on our PURPOSE (core beliefs and commitments), PASSION (relentless desire), and INTENTIONAL EXCELLENCE (continued growth and reflection)!</span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our shared Purpose at Fossil Ridge is doing “whatever it takes” to <b>Ensure High Levels of Learning for ALL Students</b>, no matter their background, special circumstances or abilities. As a result, we have worked diligently to align our Purpose, Beliefs, and Daily Practices to meet the unique needs of all our students. This process, dedicated teachers, and hard work has created a culture of collaboration and teamwork, which defines the “way we do things” at Fossil Ridge Intermediate. Due to this well established culture our students and teacher teams have soared. We have seen an increase in our end of level test results (SAGE) in each of the last six years. The teacher teams at Fossil Ridge are responding to the “Big 4” questions of a high functioning team and school through ongoing collaboration to answer and reflect on the following:</span></div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; margin: 20px 0px; padding-left: 30px;">
<li><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What do we want our students to learn? </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How will we know if students learned it?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How will we respond when students don’t learn it?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And what will we provide to those students that have learned the necessary concepts and skills?</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At Fossil Ridge Intermediate School, we look forward to an <b>EXCELLENT </b>year, highlighted by positive relationships, a laser-like focus on learning, high expectations for success, measurable growth, and celebrations of achievement. Lets make it a <b>GREAT YEAR TO BE A T-REX!</b></span></div>

<b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, one of my "take-aways" from this particular training</b><br />
<b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">was the critical important of RELATIONSHIPS. Nothing in a</b><br />
<b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">school setting will ever be successfully accomplished without</b><br />
<b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">positive relationships. Education is not about programs or</b><br />
<b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the newest "fad", its about people. The greatest joy I see</b><br />
<b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">on a daily basis is the interaction, and relationship building</b><br />
<b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">that goes on between students and teachers, students to </b><br />
<b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">students, and teacher to teacher. I know that the faculty</b><br />
<b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and staff at Fossil Ridge sincerely care about our students,</b><br />
<b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and have built relationships that allow students to feel</b><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>important and loved. I also know that our students </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>reciprocate that love, soar higher, and taste more</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>success because of those relationships. May we all continue</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>to maintain and foster positive relationships that impact our </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>lives for the better. Have a Great Weekend...BE EXCELLENT!</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Over the course of the last three years, I have learned many lessons as a new Principal, but none more meaningful than the critical importance of building a culture of shared leadership. Through challenges, successes, and mistakes, I have learned that I am not, nor will I ever be, the smartest person in the room. We have immensely talented people at Fossil Ridge, who are willing to share that talent for the betterment of our school! Because of the “talent sharing” at Fossil Ridge, it has become my role to lead from behind, stay out of the way and learn throughout our journey. In addition I have made it a personal goal to completely eliminate the words “I”, “Me” and “Mine” from my educational vocabulary. It isn’t shared responsibility if it’s all about me. It isn’t shared leadership if I take the credit for our successes and it isn’t “talent sharing” if I fail to recognize the amazing contributions of the people working in the trenches. A culture of “talent sharing” is absolutely vital to the success and effectiveness of a Principal, but more importantly, I believe it is vital to the overall success and morale of Fossil Ridge Intermediate. As Principals we must have the courage to let go, the foresight to employ the unique talents of our faculty members, and the judgement to hire teachers that will transform teaching and learning in our schools.</span><br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Its hard to believe that we are down to just a few short days left </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">in the </span></b><b><span style="color: #990000;">2016-2017 School Year. The year has flown by, I swear</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">just yesterday it was Christmas Break and our teachers were making</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">preparations for the second half of the year. Our students have all</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">but wrapped up SAGE testing, and are becoming very "antsy" </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">at the prospect of Summer Vacation! Last week we celebrated</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">Teacher Appreciation at Fossil Ridge...special Thank You to the PTA for </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">providing </span></b><b><span style="color: #990000;">wonderful breakfast, lunch, and goodies throughout the week! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">The teachers and staff at Fossil Ridge have worked so hard individually </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">and collaboratively </span></b><b><span style="color: #990000;">throughout the year to ensure that ALL students</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">are learning at high </span></b><b><span style="color: #990000;">levels by providing each student what he/she</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">needs to be </span></b><b><span style="color: #990000;">successful. As a result of the dedicated work of our teachers,</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">and the EXCELLENT effort of our students, our kiddos have soared </span></b><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>during the 2016-2017 school year! </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Our Fine Arts students have been recognized </b></span><b style="color: #990000;">at both the district, community, </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">and state level for outstanding achievement </b><b style="color: #990000;">in Choir, Theater, Band, Orchestra, </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">and the Visual Arts. We have had 6th </b><span style="color: #990000;"><b>and 7th grade </b></span><b style="color: #990000;">students win local and state </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">essay contests. Our Math Counts </b><b style="color: #990000;">competitive team dominated district events, </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">included numerous </b><b style="color: #990000;">"top 10" students, and even a couple of 1st Place awards. </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">The Robotics </b><b style="color: #990000;">program at Fossil Ridge continued to grow and provided students </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">the </b><b style="color: #990000;">opportunity to extend their learning and critical thinking skills in </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">the Lego League Arena. We have had gymnasts, BMX riders, track athletes,</b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">and members of various team sports experience amazing success throughout</b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">the past year. Academically, we have seen incredible growth, and high levels of </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">learning across the board at Fossil Ridge Intermediate. Our students are being</b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">challenged more each year, expectations continue to increase, and with </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">that our </b><b style="color: #990000;">students continue to rise to the occasion and accomplish things never</b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">thought possible. This academic success, paired with a commitment to EXCELLENCE</b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">by our faculty and staff has brought state and national recognition to Fossil Ridge, </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">including earning an "A" School Grade from the State of Utah, recognition as a </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">Solution Tree Model PLC School, and designation as a NASSP Breakthrough </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">School. This recognition comes as a result of the process we are all engaged in at</b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">Fossil Ridge Intermediate. It is understood that we can never be fully satisfied </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">with our work and our journey. As a result, our faculty and staff will continue </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">to celebrate the </b><b style="color: #990000;">teaching </b><b style="color: #990000;">and learning process, and work diligently to chase perfection. </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;"><br /></b>
<b style="color: #990000;">It has </b><b style="color: #990000;">certainly been a great year at Fossil Ridge. </b><b style="color: #990000;">Together our students, faculty, </b><br />
<b style="color: #990000;">staff, and parents have done their </b><b style="color: #990000;">absolute best to make </b><b style="color: #990000;">every day "A GREAT DAY TO </b><br />

<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">This past weekend I had the opportunity to support Mrs. Gubler</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">and several of our Art students at the Kayenta Arts Festival. Our</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">6th and 7th grade students were participating in the "Chalk Art" </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">category with other schools, organizations, and even professional </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">artists. As I walked around and took in all the different pieces of</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">art, I couldn't help but be a proud Principal watching our students</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">having such fun and working collaboratively to produce amazingly </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">colorful </span></b><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">and detailed art work. Our kids' hard work and energy paid</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">off as they were awarded both 1st and 2nd Place in the 6th-9th grade </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">category. The experience of our Art students on Saturday is but one</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">example of the importance and success of the Fine Arts </span></b><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">programs at </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Fossil Ridge. We put a premium on </span></b><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">the Arts, encourage </span></b><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">our students to </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">dive in, and provide them with </span></b><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">unmatched learning experiences. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Many times, high stakes testing </span></b><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">has overshadowed the arts, and in some </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">districts the arts no longer </span></b><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">get the necessary funding to remain viable. At</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Fossil Ridge, the </span></b><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">arts play a vital role </span></b><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">in ensuring that we educate the </span></b><br />

<b>I believe you can draw many parallels between education and athletics, and</b><br />
<b>between teaching and learning in the classroom and on the playing field. </b><br />
<b>I was a Head Baseball Coach </b><b>for 15 years. I had the opportunity to coach </b><b>many </b><br />
<b>different players, with a wide range of abilities and needs, some were </b><b>highly </b><br />
<b>skilled </b><b>and talented, while others had </b><b>to spend extra time improving their </b><b>skills </b><br />
<b>to </b><b>become successful. I coached hundreds of players, and each player needed </b><br />
<b>something entirely different to be successful. As coaches, we couldn't afford </b><br />
<b>to show up to practice </b><b>and coach </b><b>everyone the same, our players were at different </b><br />
<b>l</b><b>evels and had specific </b><b>and individualized needs. We had to recognize the most </b><br />
<b>fundamental skills that </b><b>all players needed to master to be successful on game day. </b><br />
<b>We had to determine </b><b>the skill level and understanding of all twenty-five players. </b><br />
<b>We instructed our </b><b>players on those skills...some needed extra time and practice, </b><br />
<b>others were able </b><b>to challenge themselves to explore and learn additional baseball </b><br />
<b>skills. From </b><b>there, we followed a specific learning cycle that included practice, </b><br />
<b>feedback, </b><b>practice, feedback, assessment of skills, feedback, and finally the process </b><br />
<b>ended </b><b>on game day. During the week, as a coaching staff, we had taken advantage </b><br />
<b>of </b><b>our time, exhausted all options to ensure that every player was prepared with</b><br />
<b>the skills necessary to be a successful player and teammate, and when game</b><br />
<b>day came, it was time for the players and team to put their skills on display. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>This process is identical to the teaching and learning process at Fossil Ridge.</b><br />
<b>We have 950 students, and our purpose is to "Ensure that ALL Students are</b><br />
<b>Learning at the Highest Possible Levels." We refer to this process as the GVC</b><br />
<b>Learning Process. </b><b>The process begins with teacher teams working together</b><br />
<b>to determine what specific and measurable Learning Targets and GVCs</b><br />
<b>(Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum) our students need to be successful. The </b><br />
<b>next step in the process is to use instructional strategies that effectively meet the </b><br />
<b>needs of all students. Practice follows instruction, and Common Formative</b><br />
<b>Assessments are used by teachers to determine the level of understanding for</b><br />
<b>each and every student. Students that show proficiency or mastery are provided</b><br />
<b>with extended learning opportunities, while students that need extra time,</b><br />
<b>help, or resources are provided with targeted interventions in class and</b><br />
<b>during REACH Time. This teaching and learning process aims to provide each </b><br />
<b>student "what they need" to succeed at Fossil Ridge. The ultimate goal of our </b><br />
<b>learning process is to </b><b>ensure that ALL students are able to either master or show </b><br />
<b>proficiency </b><b>in the specific Learning Targets and GVCs. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Whether its baseball or education, teachers or coaches, players or students, we</b><br />
<b>must remember that ultimately its about the process and the journey, for</b><br />
<b>without an investment in the process, success on game day never comes!</b><br />

<b><span style="color: #660000;">conclude in May with Math. As the Principal at Fossil Ridge, I am confident</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;">that our students have learned the necessary skills and concepts to be successful!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;">Our teachers have worked together in content area teams throughout the year to</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;">create GVC's (Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum), Learning Targets, effective</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;">instructional strategies, common assessments that check for student understanding, </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;">and </span></b><b style="color: #660000;">REACH Time interventions and extensions strategies. This Learning Cycle </b><br />
<b style="color: #660000;">enables </b><b style="color: #660000;">our teacher teams to meet the needs of each individual student, no </b><br />
<b style="color: #660000;">matter their current </b><b style="color: #660000;">level of proficiency. At Fossil Ridge our purpose is to</b><br />
<b style="color: #660000;">"<i>Ensure that All Students are </i></b><b style="color: #660000;"><i>Learning at High Levels." </i>We are all</b><br />
<b style="color: #660000;">committed to doing whatever it takes to guarantee student achievement.</b><br />
<b style="color: #660000;">So, when you get a chance, talk with your student about what they are learning </b><br />
<b style="color: #660000;">here at Fossil Ridge. You will be amazed at all the skills and concepts your student</b><br />
<b style="color: #660000;">has become proficient in...let them share this new knowledge, let them explain</b><br />
<b style="color: #660000;">how REACH Time has helped them as a student, and sit back and allow your</b><br />
<b style="color: #660000;">student to pat himself/herself on the back for a job well done! Have a Great </b><br />
<b style="color: #660000;">Week, and as always...BE EXCELLENT!</b><br />
