FACULTY

TIBIT OF THE DAY: Schools that hope to create a culture of continuous improvement should provide every teacher with results from frequent, common formative assessments on a timely basis but they should not use those results to compare and assess teachers. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois, has used frequent, common formative assessments developed by collaborative teams of teachers to drive its continuous improvement process that has made Stevenson one of the most celebrated schools in America. Over the course of those two decades, common assessments have been administered thousand of times, and on every one of those assessments, one teacher found that his or her students had the lowest scores on the team. Stevenson administrators and teachers recognize there will always be a teacher with the lowest results on any given common assessment, just as there will always be 50% of the students in the bottom half of the graduating class. Therefore, when teams work collaboratively to analyze the results from commons assessments, their focus is not on who had the best or the worst results, but rather on what they can do collectively to improve student learning. (Radford)

CONGRATULATIONS: To the Hilltop High Academic Decathlon team for placing 2nd in this year’s County competition. Special praise goes to Amanda Shepherd, Maddison Schaeffer and Brian Strauss for medaling multiple times in various subjects. In addition to their excellence, Connor Vaughn and Gustavo Gonzalez earned top honors in their divisions and literally brought home the hardware winning computers for their efforts. Decathletes DO what most can’t or won’t. Join a winning team at Hilltop High. See Mr. Nascimento for details in Room 409. Thank you for all your support.

FACULTY

PLC TIDBIT OPF THE DAY: Use apples to apples comparisons. Comparisons are most informative when conditions are similar. Schools with students from high-performing communities often take great satisfaction in “comparing” the performance of their students to state averages, but such comparisons do little to promote improvement. If a school places students into classrooms on basis of multiple ability groups, it accomplishes little to compare the performance of students in the highest group those in the lowest. Equivalent situations yield the most meaningful comparisons. (Radford)

PLC TIDBIT OPF THE DAY: A reluctance to change their traditional classroom practices is not the only reason educators tend to drift away from substantive conversations about teaching and learning if parameters are not in place to guide their work. Conversations about the trivial are SAFER. After all, you were4 hired for your professional expertise, but what if the results from a common assessment demonstrate that while students are taught by your colleagues are successful, your students are not? We have seen evidence that some teachers would prefer not to know their strengths and weaknesses in relationship to their colleagues because it is not worth the risk of being vulnerable. (Radford)

FACULTY

PLC TIDBIT OPF THE DAY: In a PLC the process of collaboration is specifically designed to impact educator practice in ways that lead to better results. Over and over again we have seen schools in which staff members are willing to collaborate about any number of things – dress codes, tardy policies, the appropriateness of Halloween parties – provided they can return to their classrooms and continue to do what they have always done. Yet in a PLC, the reason teachers are organized into teams, the reason they are provided with time to work together, the reason they are asked to focus on certain topics and complete specific tasks, is so that when they return to their classrooms they will possess and utilize an expanded repertoire of skills, strategies, materials, and ideas in order to impact student achievement in a positive way.

TO THOMAS PADILLA HILLTOP’S LANCER OF THE DAY!


Daily Bulletin #118 Tuesday, February 23, 2010


STUDENT SECTION


RED RIBBON WEEK

Tobacco was first used by the peoples of the pre-Columbian Americas. Native Americans apparently cultivated the plant and smoked it in pipes for medicinal and ceremonial purposes.

Christopher Columbus brought a few tobacco leaves and seeds with him back to Europe, but most Europeans didn’t get their first taste of tobacco until the mid-16th century, when adventurers and diplomats like France’s Jean Nicot—for whom nicotine is named – began to popularize its use. Tobacco was introduced to France in 1556, Portugal in 1558 and Spain in 1559 and England in 1565.

The first successful commercial crop was cultivated in Virginia in 1612 by Englishman John Rolfe. Within seven years, it was the colony’s largest export. Over the next two centuries, the growth of tobacco as a cash crop fueled the demand in North America for slave labor.

The negative health effects of tobacco were not initially known; in fact, most early European physicians subscribed to the Native American belief that tobacco can be an effective medicine.

That changed in 1952, when Reader’s Digest published “Cancer by the Carton,” an article detailing the dangers of smoking. The effect of the article was enormous: Similar reports began appearing in other periodicals, and the smoking public began to take notice. The following year, cigarette sales declined for the first time in over two decades.

ATTENTION STUDENTS: who are hosting an Italian student. Stop by Room 209 to pick a schedule and permission slips. Thank you. (Renteria)
