THE ANSWER IS IN THE
ROOM
Each week, Mr. Kearns and Ms. Paz will work with
colleagues from all over the building to share out instructional best practices
with one another. Each week will focus
on a different instructional topic connected to our Problem of Practice.
Here are some
highlights of the best practices shared after the last round of
intervisitations; all are focused on different methods of integrating
The Writing Revolution into English and Math classes.
Ms.
Chung and Ms. Medina used sentence expansion strategies in their Geometry
class.
Ms. McGoldrick used
quick outlines to help her students analyze the graphic novel Persepolis.
Ms. Thomas and Ms.
Russell used multiple TWR strategies to help their ninth grade students’ work
through Romeo and Juliet.
To see these
activities and more join the HSFI Google+ Page found here:
*If any staff member
would like to share a lesson, activity, or best practice,
send it to Ms. Paz at SPaz@schools.nyc.gov or Mr. Kearns at kkearns@schools.nyc.gov

CALL TO ACTION
● HAVE AN AWESOME 2017!!!
Health & Happiness to the
entire HSFI Community!!!
● 3 FULL WEEKS LEFT IN THE FALL TERM
We are in the homestretch of the Fall term with 3 weeks
of classes until Regents. Make sure
students understand that the grades they receive at the end of January are the
grades that colleges and universities will see.
Encourage students to take advantage of staff tutoring and tutoring from
our National Honor Society students.
● FOLLOW UP TO REPORT CARD CONFERENCING FOR 9TH GRADERS
Please connect with 9th
graders that filled out ‘Recovery Contracts’ -
On these contracts, students identified areas they needed help in to
succeed and areas they needed to improve upon themselves. Take some time to review these contracts with
those individual students.
To honor the student’s
thoughtfulness about next steps in their classes, we will be asking teachers to
do the following:
#1
Review the goal the student has
written for accuracy – is the suggested behavior change a priority for the
student or is there something else that would be more effective?
#2a
If the goal is accurate, verbally
acknowledge receipt of the goal. “I see
you are prepared to succeed by (arriving on time every day, completing all
classwork).”
#2b
If the goal is not fully
accurate, meet with the student to add further suggestions on the back
of the goal.
#3
Reiterate to the student how you
will support their efforts
