Ready To Teach

At Patrick Henry we have decided that we will focus our energies and discipline ourselves to focus on what matters most.  We are committed to being a school that is great.  To become great we will focus on on being  Ready to Teach:
  • Equipped I will plan your learning experiences so that they are purposeful, relevant, standards-based, and consist of a variety of learning activities. 
  •  Ready I will be ready to provide a productive, positive start to class. 
  •  Invested I will provide you with timely, specific feedback and ask you questions to promote  your growth in  learning. 
  • Honor I will honor you and your classmates and remain a positive educator in our school.
  • Courage I will have the courage to struggle, try new things, and meet new people.  

So..........
  1. What practices, procedures and routines will you and your team commit to in order to focus your time and energy on being ready to teach?  
  2. What do you need to stop doing.....even if it's good?   
  3. What does a culture of discipline look like for you and your team?  Put it on paper and give others permission to hold you accountable.
