Staff Meeting: Differentiated Sessions

This week’s staff meeting will be differentiated sessions. The topics of the differentiated sessions will be differentiation, curriculum maps, and questioning in the classroom.

Staff members who missed the first picture day are encouraged to get their pictures taken. It takes approximately five minutes. Staff participation will greatly aid the yearbook process.

Respect for All Month in Advisories (Submission of Completed Student Work)

“Respect for All” month continues in advisory for the remainder of February. Advisors have received materials and student copies. As a reminder, all student work products should be submitted to Ms. Heller as they are completed. If you have questions or did not receive your materials, see Ms. Heller (aheller7@schools.nyc.gov).

Advisory Emergency Lesson Plans

Per the PNA Staff Handbook, three days worth of lesson plans should be submitted to Mr. Liu to be kept on file in the Main Office. This includes plans for your advisory. These will only be used if you are unexpectedly absent and cannot leave more timely work for your students. The plans should relate to your content area and should be adaptable for use at any time during the semester. With your lesson plans you should include directions, all necessary copies for students, and relevant information. These should already have been submitted. If you have not already done so, please submitted lessons for all of your classes (including advisory).
