Our district theme for 2014-15 is
HSD: Connection Passion and Purpose for Learning.
Our keynote speaker is Scott McLeod and he will inspire us on our journey of making HSD 2025 come alive with rigorous and relevant teaching and learning. Please view this Ted Talk to front load our keynote on August 26th. His website also has more information on him. I have purchased his book for the professional library if you are interested. It describes different types of technology tools and specific applications that may be helpful in your classroom. Here is the link to the resources mentioned and used at his presentation.
Here is a link to our building meeting on Wed. Aug. 27 at 9:00am. Our essential question is:
How do we prepare our students to be informed, caring contributors to the world?
Please respond how we use RIGOR, RELEVANCE, and RELATIONSHIPS at HP?

Welcome Back Presentation
We are going to look at this through the lens of Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships.
To read more about the 3 R's, check out this article by Ray McNulty.
Think about how your learning as an adult has been rigorous, relevant, and based on relationships.
On Thurs. Aug. 28 we will meet in the HP gym for common messages and have personalized breakouts based on your grade level needs. Laptops would be helpful as well as the Fountas and Pinell Continuum for grades 3-5. This is located in the F & P assessment kits.
