Team time, class time, my time
Class time - social studies, math, etc.
Show mastery - what does that look like.
My time - 3 days a week, you work on the lowest area. Souped up study hall.
If you’re caught up on pace, work on what you want.
2 days a week you work on ILPs
Team Time - looping with kids 6-8th grade. Goal setting, character education, team building activities, Student-led conferences.
Kids come up with the ways they do better.
Mastery looks like: mimic ACT aspire certain percentage of level 3 DOK.
2 types of grades
A numeric grade (0-100, A-F)
MasteryConnect - mastery report where students are at.
Need to show mastery at 80% first time to get 100%.
Teaching parents that mastery is what is really important, but still keep grades to make sense of it all.
Pacing - kids can go as fast as they want, but they have to keep a minimum pace to keep kids up.
Schedule 8 period day, science and math were paired up. Teachers can trade kids.
How to be a transformative principal? Be a better listener.
