The writing below consists of excerpts from Jeff Bezos' (CEO of Amazon) annual letter to the shareholders of Amazon. Bezos' thoughts are applicable to any public or private organization in pursuit of continual improvement. When you read customer, think student and think of academic achievement as profits. <br />

Says Bezos:<br />
<br />
As companies get larger and more complex, there's a tendency to manage to proxies. This comes in many shapes and sizes, and it's dangerous, subtle, and very Day 2.<br />
<br />
A common example is process as proxy. Good process serves you so you can serve customers. But if you're not watchful, the process can become the thing. This can happen very easily in large organizations. The process becomes the proxy for the result you want. You stop looking at outcomes and just make sure you're doing the process right. Gulp. It's not that rare to hear a junior leader defend a bad outcome with something like, "Well, we followed the process." A more experienced leader will use it as an opportunity to investigate and improve the process. The process is not the thing. It's always worth asking, do we own the process or does the process own us? In a Day 2 company, you might find it's the second.<br />
<br />
Good inventors and designers deeply understand their customer. They spend tremendous energy developing that intuition. They study and understand many anecdotes rather than only the averages you'll find on surveys. They live with the design.<br />
<br />
I'm not against beta testing or surveys. But you, the product or service owner, must understand the customer, have a vision, and love the offering. Then, beta testing and research can help you find your blind spots. A remarkable customer experience starts with heart, intuition, curiosity, play, guts, taste. You won't find any of it in a survey."<br />
<br />
New trends in your sector are constantly emerging, you have to go after them full steam. If not, you could be left behind.<br />
<br />
The outside world can push you into Day 2 if you won't or can't embrace powerful trends quickly. If you fight them, you're probably fighting the future. Embrace them and you have a tailwind.<br />
<br />
These big trends are not that hard to spot (they get talked and written about a lot), but they can be strangely hard for large organizations to embrace. We're in the middle of an obvious one right now: machine learning and artificial intelligence.<br />
<br />
High-Velocity Decision Making<br />
<br />
Stop being a bumbling big organization Bezos says, and start making high quality decisions faster. Failing to do so could leave hungrier upstarts to take your market share.<br />
<br />
Day 2 companies make high- quality decisions, but they make high-quality decisions slowly . To keep the energy and dynamism of Day 1, you have to somehow make high-quality, high-velocity decisions. Easy for start-ups and very challenging for large organizations. The senior team at Amazon is determined to keep our decision-making velocity high. Speed matters in business - plus a high-velocity decision making environment is more fun too.<br />
<br />
First, never use a one-size-fits-all decision-making process. Many decisions are reversible, two-way doors. Those decisions can use a light-weight process. For those, so what if you're wrong? I wrote about this in more detail in last year's letter.<br />
<br />
Second, most decisions should probably be made with somewhere around 70% of the information you wish you had. If you wait for 90%, in most cases, you're probably being slow. Plus, either way, you need to be good at quickly recognizing and correcting bad decisions. If you're good at course correcting, being wrong may be less costly than you think, whereas being slow is going to be expensive for sure.<br />
<br />
Third, use the phrase "disagree and commit." This phrase will save a lot of time. If you have conviction on a particular direction even though there's no consensus, it's helpful to say, "Look, I know we disagree on this but will you gamble with me on it? Disagree and commit?" By the time you're at this point, no one can know the answer for sure, and you'll probably get a quick yes.<br />
<br />
Fourth, recognize true misalignment issues early and escalate them immediately . Sometimes teams have different objectives and fundamentally different views. They are not aligned. No amount of discussion, no number of meetings will resolve that deep misalignment. Without escalation, the default dispute resolution mechanism for this scenario is exhaustion. Whoever has more stamina carries the decision.<br />

Progress toward achieving our objectives is reported to the Beaver Dam Unified School District Board of Education every 90 days. These accountability reports are on our school district’s website (</span><a href="http://www.bdusd.org/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">www.bdusd.org</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">). This year we are focused on 11 KPOs across four core-strategy areas: student growth and achievement, staff effectiveness and development, community engagement, and facilities and operations. Let’s take a closer look at two key-performance objectives that will have a substantial impact on the learning experiences of our students.</span></div>

Our BDMS scheduling and course review team is moving forward adding elective courses at seventh and eighth grades, offering multi-year German and Spanish courses, and Algebra for high-school credit. New at eighth grade, all students will take Computer Apps and Innovations, where students will learn to write apps, code, and innovate through multiple technology platforms. New elective courses across seventh and eighth grades will focus in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The course additions will include Automation & Robotics, Science of Technology, Green Architecture and an online agri-science course. At the sixth-grade level, all students will take Design and Modeling and Flight and Space STEM courses. In addition to core subject areas, we will continue to offer current elective courses in art, physical education, family & consumer education and music. Our middle school student experience will be substantially different moving forward. </span></div>

The high-school design is in its final stages. Our agri-science room is slated to open first. The current plan is to have the new agri-science room that consists of four learning spaces (aquaponics, small animal lab, large animal lab, and classroom space) open September 1, 2017. The field house and student commons/cafeteria areas are scheduled for completion by January 1, 2018. The entrance, office area, kitchen, and centrally-located classrooms will open March 2018, and the fabrication laboratory, technology-education space, music suite, and all other classrooms are scheduled for completion by September 1, 2018. Our new high school will have the most advanced learning spaces in Wisconsin. . Draft floor-plan designs and artistic renderings of the building are available for viewing at the school district’s website: </span><a href="http://www.bdusd.org/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">www.bdusd.org</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

<br />
“Many people believe math is innate,” says Nicole Joseph, assistant professor of mathematics education. “They believe math is reserved for an elite group of students, and either you can do it or you can’t. People will say they are not a ‘math person,’ when they would never talk that way about not being able to read.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Joseph spent 12 years in Seattle as a math teacher and an instructional coach to teachers. She says the myth that not everyone can learn math reflects society’s tendency to value learners who appear naturally adept at memorizing formulas and calculating quickly and accurately to the exclusion of others.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Every student is capable of doing mathematics,” Joseph says. “But not every student learns the same way, and teachers have to put aside any preconceived notions and figure out how each student learns best.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Fourth-grade teacher Julia Crownover has always been enthusiastic about math.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Math is truly for everyone. Teachers just need to find creative ways to reach students,” she says. She uses traditional tools like worksheets and flash cards, but she also reaches out to students in ways that speak to them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Some students need a visual or tactile representation, some may thrive with the competition and challenge of a game, and some may benefit with putting math into real-life situations,” she says.</div>

Julia Crownover of Nashville is currently teaching at the International School of Ulm, in Neu-Ulm Germany. She formerly taught fourth grade at Eakin Elementary.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
A Nashville native and avid Vanderbilt basketball fan, Crownover often uses sports to teach math concepts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“I know a lot about the Vanderbilt players and the team,” she says. “When studying the concept of ‘mean,’ I will use a player’s shot record to teach students how to calculate a player’s average percentage points in a game.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Often I see students who are overwhelmed by math or think it is too hard. But when a teacher really engages them and sparks their interest, every student can excel in math.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Rogers Hall’s research confirms the effectiveness of using real-life scenarios.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Since children learn almost continuously, there are many opportunities for getting interested in, learning and making things that involve mathematics,” says Hall, professor and chair of the Department of Teaching and Learning. “For example, if a student maintains her own bicycle, that might be an opportunity to talk about rational number concepts such as ratio and proportion.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Other students may engage in crafts like knitting or weaving, which draw heavily on mathematics. Increasingly, teachers’ knowledge of how to teach math includes an understanding of how to use out-of-school experiences to support classroom teaching and learning.”</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: normal; letter-spacing: 0.1em; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">MYTH:</b> MATH IS ONLY ABOUT MEMORIZATION.</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
For generations, teachers and parents have taught math in the same way they learned it, through memorization—facilitated by an abundance of flash cards and worksheets. Certainly, memorization is one component of math learning. But it’s not the whole story, says Bethany Rittle-Johnson, professor of psychology and human development.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“When students learn math primarily through memorization, they miss out on developing critical thinking skills that are vital to being successful in math later on,” she says. “Students need to have the ability to memorize a formula, but they also need the understanding of the concept behind it.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
For example, Rittle-Johnson explains that many students fail to understand the function of a very common symbol, the equals sign.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Many textbooks don’t clearly define what the equals sign actually means,” she says. “Because of that, students adopt shortcuts such as adding all of the numbers together as soon as they see the symbol, rather than understanding what it really means, which is to have the same value at either side of the equation. It’s important to understand that before you move on to more complex math concepts.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Rittle-Johnson is developing and testing an innovative toolkit for algebra teachers in a Massachusetts school district. Comparison and Explanation of Multiple Strategies gives students more than one strategy for solving a problem. Having more solving options helps students decide which one works best for them and to better understand how and why the strategies work.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“When students are stuck with only one way of solving, they are only memorizing and not developing critical thinking skills,” Rittle-Johnson said. “We are finding that students are having improved outcomes in fraction learning as a result of this new approach.”</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: normal; letter-spacing: 0.1em; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">MYTH:</b> MATH ISN’T SUPPOSED TO BE FUN.</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Math isn’t always thought of as fun. But Lisa Fazio disagrees. She is studying how children can learn math through play, or more specifically a mobile app she designed and tested. Fazio says the first signs of frustration over math often appear when fractions are introduced in the lower grades.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Kids develop this really strong understanding of whole numbers, and then we teach them fractions, and it blows up everything they have learned about how numbers behave, ” says Fazio, professor of psychology and human development.</div>

She has spent the last several years developing and testing a computer game for fourth- and fifth-graders called “Catch the Monster With Fractions.” In the game, players are given prompts to find a particular fraction on a number line. When they click in the correct location, a cartoon monster pops up, along with text that says, “You got me!” If they guess wrong, the monster pops up and says, “You missed!”</div>

Fazio’s findings show that the students who played the game significantly improved their understanding of fractions compared to those who didn’t.</div>

“They said they didn’t want to stop playing it because it didn’t feel like homework,” she says. “It was just fun.”</div>

Melissa Gresalfi, associate professor of mathematics education, and Ilana Horn professor of teaching and learning, are also strong proponents of learning math through play. Last fall they earned a National Science Foundation grant to study a math-themed playground at the Minnesota State Fair called “Math On-A-Stick.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Children were invited to engage in a variety of math-based activities and games, including folding paper hexaflexagons, creating symmetry and patterns with stones, tiles and blocks; and connecting tessellating tiles shaped like lizards and turtles. Participants wore Go-Pro video helmets so the researchers could see how they interacted with the games and for how long. Ultimately, the researchers will turn the data into play-based curricula math teachers can use in the classroom.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Every day doesn’t have to be a playground,” Horn says, “but throughout the school year, kids do need spaces to have positive experiences while learning mathematical problem-solving. Kids have libraries to fall in love with literature,” she says. “Where do they have to fall in love with math?”</div>

<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">MYTH:</b> MATH IS SOMETHING YOU DO ALONE.</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“A big myth in mathematics is that it is an individual experience, not a social one,” says Luis Leyva, assistant professor of mathematics education. “In reality, building a social experience surrounding math can help propel students to learn and succeed in ways they wouldn’t on their own.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Leyva has studied math experiences of underrepresented undergraduate students pursuing STEM majors and careers. He has found that math comprehension and a sense of belongingness in STEM improved greatly when they worked on assignments in groups rather than alone. Their learning was enhanced by the strong bonds they developed with the other students and teachers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Adding a social aspect to math is valuable because it validates the gendered and cultural identities each student brings to the class and allows teachers and classmates to engage with math while honoring and learning from each other’s differences,” Leyva says. “I would argue that to support students in math, particularly in marginalized communities, we need to not just think about the academic component, but the social component required to be successful.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Nicole Joseph’s research supports the idea that students can benefit from learning math in a more social setting. Her research finds that black middle school girls prefer to collaborate on problems and work in groups and have better outcomes as a result. “If their process, or ‘way of knowing’ is not valued in the classroom, they feel that somehow the problem lies with them, not the teaching,” she says.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Joseph says that her math trajectory was built on collaboration. “I worked hard and I wanted to keep making those good grades in college, so I reached out to fellow students,” she said. “I went up to other students I didn’t know—mostly white students—and asked to study together. It was fun, and we all did better as a result.”</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: normal; letter-spacing: 0.1em; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">MYTH:</b> PRESCHOOLERS ARE TOO YOUNG TO LEARN MATH.</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Preschoolers are taught counting and recognizing numbers but often are thought to be too young to be exposed to more complex mathematical concepts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Rittle-Johnson has conducted much research on the effects of introducing mathematical concepts to 3- and 4-year-olds. She has found that they are capable of engaging in pattern abstraction—identifying a pattern of colors or shapes and replicating that pattern with different colors or shapes. When they engage in patterning activities, their brains begin to build a foundation for later mathematical proficiency, she says.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Pattern abstraction teaches the child to look for regularity, repetition and rules, which are critical components of mathematical reasoning,” Rittle-Johnson explains. “As they progress to more complicated patterning activities, their mathematical foundation continues to grow.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
She explains that early exposure to math concepts is not only positive, it’s necessary for a child’s later mathematical understanding.<br />
“Numbers are important to learn in preschool, but that’s not where their math learning should end,” Rittle-Johnson said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Encouraging problem-solving using math scenarios, such as how to distribute blocks evenly among classmates, is another way for preschoolers to begin understanding math concepts they’ll use later on.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Young children are tremendously interested in learning about the world around them, and that world includes things that can be counted—but also shapes, patterns, and things that are measured,” says Dale Farran, Antonio M. and Anita S. Gotto Professor of Teaching and Learning. “It turns out that the broader a child’s math knowledge is, the more school success he or she has in the future. Early math skills are related to higher achievement not just in math but in literacy as well through at least the fifth grade.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Farran is part of a consortium of researchers awarded a $5 million grant by the Heising-Simons Foundation to identify more effective teaching practices and promote math learning during the preschool years. One of her areas of study is an examination of the correlation between early mathematical learning and preschool executive function—the ability to pay attention, control impulses and manage behavior.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
When preschoolers engage in early math learning, executive function skills tend to coexist, although researchers don’t yet know why.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“We are designing and testing a variety of mathematical activities to help understand this phenomenon,” Farran said. “It will be exciting to see how math competencies and executive function intersect and can be enhanced through high-quality early childhood education.”</div>

<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">MYTH:</b> MATH IS FOR BOYS.</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Math has a reputation for being a male endeavor. According to a Stanford University study, boys have outperformed girls in math on the SAT for the past 40 years. On the other hand, the study goes on to say that girls are more likely to graduate at the top of their high-school class, go on to college and earn post-graduate degrees. Are these kinds of comparisons useful?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Not necessarily, according to Luis Leyva. The trouble with comparing outcomes based on sex is that it doesn’t paint a representative portrait of the gendered variation of mathematics achievement and participation within compared groups of individuals, he says. Much of how individuals behave, what they believe about themselves, and how they respond to math and the world around them is colored by the social construct of gender, not anatomy, he says.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
In a forthcoming article in the <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Journal for Research in Mathematics Education,</i> Leyva discusses how the “myth of male superiority” in mathematics assessments has motivated researchers to take a closer look at differential mathematics outcomes and experiences in relation to gender and its intersections with other social identities.</div>

“Achievement is shaped by external influences, including social contexts and individual experiences,” Leyva says. “Much of the work on gender in mathematics education doesn’t address issues of intersectionality—how other dimensions of social identity like race or ethnicity, class and sexuality intersect with gender to shape varying forms of experience. If it did, that would allow for more nuanced understandings of mathematics achievement and participation.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
As math students progress to high school, college and careers in STEM, fewer and fewer females and students of color are present. Ebony McGee, a former engineer, has experienced this firsthand. “I was often one of the only black individuals in my workplace and one of only a few women,” she says. “Often we were treated like we were less capable than our peers. I hope that one day that myth will fade out, as people begin to see diversity as an asset, not a liability.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
McGee, assistant professor of education, diversity and STEM education, serves as a mentor to students in underrepresented groups who are pursuing careers in STEM. She believes the common narrative about math careers is too limited.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Math is often positioned as a means to make America the next superpower, but that message doesn’t resonate with students—women and other groups—who are good at math but also want to provide stability for their communities and their families,” McGee says. “There is so much more that math can do. Math knowledge can play a strong role in social justice, in terms of providing ways to understand structural inequities in our society. We need to change the way that math is marketed so that math careers will appeal to a broader range of students.”</div>

What impact could I have on students, their academic careers, their confidence, their self-esteem, if I spent more time telling our students how proud I am of the job they are doing? What would the impact be on academic achievement in the school district? What would the impact be on the public perception of the school district or even public education at large? I found myself reflecting on some of the toughest classes I had when I was a teacher. How would my experience have been different? What about the experiences of the students in the class? Would their achievement have changed if I spent three minutes a day making a positive phone call? 180 phone calls a year? I know the answer. </span></div>

As an educator, I am quick to defend the institution. I’ve spent hours lobbying legislators to help change some of the negative rhetoric about our public schools. I’ve written guest columns in newspapers, kept a blog, updated my Twitter account, and treaded water in the Facebook world: all in an effort “To tell our story.” But I haven’t taken the time to simply tell parents how wonderful their kids are. It’s unacceptable. At the end of the 100 calls, I found myself looking in the mirror, reminding myself to be the change I want to see in the world. I reminded myself to stop complaining about the variables I can’t control; to take personal responsibility for telling parents how hard their students work; to spend more time telling the stories of the 95% of kids who do everything right; and to stop blaming others for the challenges I have.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So I ask, what would the impact be if everyone in the Beaver Dam School District made five, three minute phone calls each week to tell parents how fabulous their kids are? What would the impact be in our state if all public educators were to do the same? Just as Dr. Sanfelippo challenged me, I challenge you to make 100 phone calls before April 1, telling parents how amazing their kids are. You won’t regret it. You will be inspired by the experience. You have the time. You will inspire children. You will help parents sleep better at night. You will smile more. We will all be the change we want to see in the world. </span>Steve http://www.blogger.com/profile/09754498524759709946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904898491822424946.post-77720067617246837442017-01-17T07:48:00.000-08:002017-01-17T07:48:32.942-08:00Working on Wellness<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

A district Key Performance Objective (KPO) grew from this idea, and for the past year, a committee of certified staff, administrators, support staff, and board members have been researching and implementing strategies to improve employee wellness. </span></div>

Leaning on this information, the Wellness Committee developed and implemented a staff-wellness program focusing on strategies in the following three key areas: workspaces/environment, public relations/communication, and community resources.</span></div>

A Wellness webpage is currently available on the district website to communicate initiatives and share information. Staff is encouraged to take walking breaks, use stand-up desks, rearrange workspaces, collaborate with colleagues, and increase healthy options in vending and break-rooms. Walking routes at each district building are mapped. The committee continues to reach out to community resources in order to offer health screenings and informational sessions on topics such as financial wellness and mindfulness. Reflecting on the importance of implementing wellness strategies Sarah McClanathan, Lincoln teacher, notes, “</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">being healthy isn't a fad or trend; it's a lifestyle.”</span></div>

These groups implement strategies such as fitness classes, walking groups, healthy lunch days, and scheduled-social activities. A district-wide walking challenge was recently launched encouraging teams to “walk” to Florida. Fitness classes are open to all staff and are held at the high school each week. Concurrently, the middle school implemented a “positivity wall” and redecorated the staff workroom. Washington School staff fill a fruit infused water cooler daily for staff, and Prairie View school staff get together to exercise after school. </span></div>

It's a refreshing change as we are focusing on being well in multiple ways, while supporting and challenging each other to be better each and every day.

The author presents 20 questions educators should ask when designing learning space. I propose the 20 questions are appropriate for anyone that organizes a classroom, media center, breakout space or other student learning area. Steven Weber, Superintendent in Fayetteville, Arkansas is the author. The article was originally published on ASCD's professional networking community for educators website at www.edge.ascd.org in December, 2016.</div>

All students deserve a learning space, not a classroom. As teachers and administrators continue to transform learning spaces, they could learn a lot about classroom design by visiting a playground, children’s museum, or public library. When you observe students on a playground, you will see collaboration, communication, critical thinking, teamwork, problem solving, citizenship, innovation, and community. We need more academic playgrounds. If teachers and administrators took time to reflect on the importance of design, purpose, and space, they may find that the old structure is a barrier to student achievement.</div>

Once you design a space that meets the students' needs and preferences, you may be surprised at the change in student performance. When you are blogging or reading the news at home, do you put your feet up in a chair? Do you drink a cup of coffee and sit on the back porch? We do our best thinking when we are relaxed. Students can collaborate, communicate, create, and think critically in inspiring learning spaces.</div>

Too often, teachers and administrators see a trendy classroom on Pinterest. The goal should be to design learning spaces that meet the needs of today’s learners, not to purchase bright colored bean bags, neon colored paint, rocking chairs, and lava lamps. Learning space is often overlooked in education. When teacher teams begin to ask these questions, they will reflect on the learning goals and ways to support student understanding, rather than transforming a traditional classroom into a trendy classroom.</div>

Where can you spend a Saturday morning sharing ideas about a variety of education-related topics with educators across twelve different school districts and 14 different grade levels? At Edcamp! Last Saturday, Beaver Dam Unified School District hosted the second annual Edcamp Beaver Dam. In short, Edcamp is an unconference designed specifically for educators. It is a free sponsor-based professional development and learning opportunity where attendees create the agenda. Then they become note-takers and facilitators of the individual sessions. Edcamp prides itself in participant choice, therefore people are free to leave sessions at will to attend another without hurting anyone’s ego!<br />
<br />
This year, more than 50 educators attended the Edcamp held at the Beaver Dam Middle School. At the start of Edcamp, attendees met to post suggestions for topics of interest for the day. Edcamp Beaver Dam used the Padlet Application to record suggestions. Next, the topics were sorted into categories for session assignments. This year’s schedule offered 28 different opportunities during four 50-minute sessions. The topics ranged from mental health, to G Suite (formerly Google Apps for Education), to student engagement and motivation, to mindfulness, reading strategies, and the growth mindset. After four engaging sessions, all attendees regrouped for the closing comments. Finally, the day concluded with a sponsor-based raffle. Attendees won prizes to be used in their classrooms. It was an amazing morning of collaboration and learning.</div>

The United States Department of Education announced today that Wilson Elementary School has been chosen as a 2016 National Blue Ribbon School. Wilson joins both South Beaver Dam and Lincoln Elementary schools as National Blue Ribbon Schools of Distinction. </span></div>

The United States Department of Education will recognize only 329 public and private schools in the country this year. This is not an award in which a school merely submits an application; the schools are chosen by the Department of Education based on the student academic performance on state assessments. The award affirms the hard work of Beaver Dam students, families, and the world-class staff who comprise the Wilson School learning community and the Beaver Dam Unified School District as a whole. The National Blue Ribbon School flag gracing a school’s building is widely recognized as a symbol of exemplary teaching and learning.</span></div>

When we celebrate the successes of Wilson School students, we celebrate the hard work and success of all students, families, and employees who make up our learning community in the Beaver Dam Unified School District. We will continue to work vigorously to guide students and empower futures while leading the way in student growth and academic achievement. It is another great day to live, work, and learn in Beaver Dam!</span></div>

What to Do in Week One?</h1>

In the school district where I taught for many years, school always began on the Tuesday after Labor Day. Our middle school teaching team, which served 185 students, competed every year to see who could learn every student's name by Friday. Most years, I won.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.85em; line-height: 1.45em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
While students worked in my class, I used memory techniques to review their names. After school, I studied pictures of them. I asked students to switch their seats each day, sometimes even in the middle of class, and then I identified each one of them anew. I practiced naming them as they entered my room and in the cafeteria during lunch. I dared students to try to trick me into associating them with an incorrect name; I bungled a few, and there were a lot of laughs. But by the end of the fourth day of school, I knew all 185 students' names.<br />

It was the first leg of the year's journey in relationship building. Parents wrote notes and e-mails marveling that I knew their child so well so quickly and predicting that this was going to be a great school year for their child. Of course, I didn't really know their children yet. But all of us feel honored when others whom we respect think our names are worth remembering. In that simple act, we make a connection.</div>

It's like the Na'vi expression of deep respect in the movie <i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Avatar</i>: "I see you." When we affirm to each student, "Yes, you exist; I accept all that you are, and I value time in your company," it opens the door to the successful teaching-learning dynamic so important to academic success.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.85em; line-height: 1.45em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
For many of us, the daily connections we make with colleagues and students have become routine. But these connections can make all the difference for our students. That moment at the end of lunch with 13-year-old Owen, in which the two of us wondered how Doctor Who could travel back and forth through time and space in his TARDIS without causing time paradoxes, may have been the first time Owen had a conversation with an adult who accepted him as an equal partner in the discussion. It was fresh and exciting for Owen, and his limbic system and autonomic nervous system surged with well-being. Now he wants more connections like this. And the more such positive connections he makes, the more personally and academically resilient he'll be.</div>

Yes, It <i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Is</i> That Important</h2>

Although we can build positive relationships throughout the school year, the first weeks are crucial. They set the tone and conditions for the year ahead, creating a more effective teaching and learning enterprise for everyone. James Comer, professor of child psychiatry at Yale University, often declares, "No significant learning can occur without a significant relationship." This connection is especially powerful for students who struggle. As Rabbi Harold Kushner said in an interview with <i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Educational Leadership</i>,</div>

Often I will read about someone from the most unpromising circumstances—inner-city ghetto, drug family, single-parent home, abandoned by father, abandoned by both parents sometimes—and the child will have grown up to be a star athlete, a successful politician, or a doctor. The reporter will ask, "How did you get to be who you are?" And the answer will always begin with the same four words: "There was this teacher." (Scherer, 1998, p. 22)</blockquote>

For all humans—and especially teens and young teens—whatever enters our brains as we learn activates emotional responses, even before we process it cognitively. Even if teachers deliver curriculum content with an inert, unemotional lens, our students' internal monologue takes it to an emotional level—"This is so tight/wrong/bad/cool/radical/wild/dope/stupid/GOAT (Greatest of All Time)!"</div>

Research by Mary Helen Immordino-Yang demonstrates that students need to feel a meaningful emotional connection to the material to learn. In an interview, she asserted,</div>

People think of emotion as getting in the way of cognition, but it doesn't. Emotion steers our thinking; it's the rudder that directs our mind and organizes what we need to do. (Sparks, 2016)</blockquote>

Positive teacher-student relationships build on this connection to promote learning. An extensive research base shows that</div>

improving students' relationships with teachers has important, positive and long-lasting implications for both students' academic and social development. (Rimm-Kaufman & Sandilos, 2016)</blockquote>

In sum, students' learning is markedly influenced by their connectedness with the adults in charge, classmates, and the larger community. How can we take advantage of this dynamic to support learning, especially in the first weeks of school?</div>
<h2 style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #393939; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.25em; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 30px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Make Sure Students Feel Safe</h2>

The most urgent questions students ask as they begin a new school year are, Am I safe? and, Do I belong? Once students feel sure these needs are met, they'll dive into learning. We can't take successful communication of these assurances for granted, though. We have to prove them to students every day. What can teachers do?</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.85em; line-height: 1.45em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">First, let's laugh at our own mistakes</i>, and model what it looks like to acknowledge our blunders publicly and handle them constructively. Let's not ridicule students' questions ("Why can't we see latitude/longitude lines from the air?" "Seriously, Mr. Wormeli, did we land on the moon?" "Why are women always naked in Renaissance paintings?"). Let's remove all sarcasm from our comments, realizing that the sting of even a small, tossed-away remark can leave a lasting scar.<br />

<i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Let's not assume that students understand the idioms and references we use;</i> let's accept instead that we have to make the implicit explicit: "When I refer to syntax or describe sentences as being parallel, I'm referring to the repetition among the phrases used to improve flow and clarity for the reader. Here, let's line up these three sentences to see how they're parallel."</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.85em; line-height: 1.45em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">And let's not take students' inappropriate comments or reactions to our teaching personally.</i> Instead, let's respond with concern: "That doesn't sound like you, Matthew.

We can withhold judgment when giving descriptive feedback. Instead of writing, "This is incoherent—rewrite!" in the margin of the student's paper, we might write, "I see you've included five arguments in this paragraph, but I don't see how they're connected. Can you suggest a way to make your point more clearly?" Instead of, "Excellent math work!" we might write, "You isolated the variable to one side of the equation sign. What does that enable you to do now?" Instead of pronouncing a grade on a small project immediately, we might ask students to write a letter analyzing how their effort does or does not match the exemplar provided, and if it doesn't match, what they'd need to change to achieve a full match between the two—then give them time to make those changes.</div>

Judgment on the quality of work distances students from us; it creates the need to save face, and it seems adversarial. In contrast, thoughtful, specific feedback positions us as a personal advocate. Students are willing to connect with an advocate.</div>

In class discussions, students will offer something incorrect from time to time. We need to correct the statements without rejecting the students and stalling their participation. Here are some suggestions for responding in a way that respects a student's dignity.</div>

<i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ask the student to explain more about his thinking.</i> When students explain further, they often discover their errors.

<i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Be empathetic to their thinking.</i> We can tell a student that we used to think this way (even if we didn't), but we changed our mind when we read the information at the bottom of page 89 (the page intended for last night's reading that this student failed to do).

So after she responds to a question with the incorrect answer, we respond with, "That's the answer to the question I was about to ask," even if it wasn't. It is now, though, and we go on to ask it so that Sophia can offer her answer again and experience being correct.</div>

A teacher in Naples, Maine, taught me this, and, gosh, it works. Students answer every time, and most often, they're good answers.

One last note about trust: We can never forget that we are under scrutiny. Students notice how we interact with their classmates and our colleagues. If we're curt, insincere, unfair, indifferent, or less than supportive with others, they'll assume that we might be that way with them, despite any previous positive experiences.</div>

Students detest duplicity in their teachers. The first few weeks should provide consistent proof of personal authenticity. So the words we use with parents are the same ones we use with students. We follow up on our promises. We don't use sarcasm with our colleagues if we don't allow it in the classroom (the same goes with chewing gum). We are sad at sad moments and happy at happy moments. We don't always embrace students' cultural likes and dislikes just to be more accepted by them. We share our unique interests—a favorite sport or book; how much we liked Legos as a child; our dream of going into space someday; our fondness for summer camp, bike touring, and pecan pie; and a little about our families and our deep commitments to them. In short, we're our real selves.</div>

Know Your Students Well</h2>

We can't connect with students we don't know. To provide them with meaningful learning experiences and to construct a supportive classroom community, we need to know them.</div>

"Selected Things to Know About Your Students" (p. 15) lists just some of the areas that can affect learning. A single teacher won't be able to gather data in all these areas, of course, so we should make information gathering a full-year process, and consider dividing it up among departments in the school and posting it to a secure, confidential profile system maintained by the guidance department. In addition, many teachers find it helpful to include the following activities in the first weeks of school.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.85em; line-height: 1.45em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Invite parents to comment.</i> In 2003, Deb Bova shared a simple strategy on the MiddleWeb listserv that exploded worldwide—sending home an open-ended invitation on the first day of school that says, "In a<a href="http://www.middleweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/MillionWordsActivity-MWx.pdf" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #739501; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.00392157) 1px 1px 1px; transition: color 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;" target="">million words</a> or less, tell me about your child." In my own experience and that of other teachers who have tried it, this strategy garners insights regarding students that conventional parent surveys don't often provide. Parents find the prompt engaging; many comment that they've never been asked to write something like this before.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.85em; line-height: 1.45em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Invite students to write—as their parents.</i> Tell students, "Write a letter from your parent to the teacher describing you." When people write under a pseudonym, it's often freeing. We include things we might normally filter. In the years I used this activity, students made statements like, "If it's important to remember, please write it on the board or screen. Otherwise, Jerry doesn't think it's important." "Micah has Hebrew school on Sundays and Wednesdays, so he probably won't do homework on those days." "It drives Carla crazy when there's nothing creative, so don't be boring." and, "Lena finds sweat stains under teachers' armpits revolting, so please keep them dry or don't raise your arms."</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.85em; line-height: 1.45em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Caution students when writing such letters to stick to factors that affect their classroom learning. They should not reveal anything too confidential or personal. If they want to share personal information, they should first get their parents' permission or maybe even ask the parents to share it themselves.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.85em; line-height: 1.45em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Offer "Best Way for Me to Learn" cards</i>. Students fill out an index card with their name and everything they can think of that helps them learn. Using these cards over the years, I learned that students wanted me to use high-contrast colors on dry erase boards, to provide more than two examples when explaining something, to speak more slowly, to allow students to drink water or juice in class, to switch who was doing the teaching sometimes (resulting in more student-led instruction), to identify online tutorials covering the same material I was teaching, and to make sure my homework wasn't busy work "just to look like a tough teacher." I also learned that many students get frustrated with group projects. All helpful to know.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.85em; line-height: 1.45em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Spend time in shared efforts.</i> One of the best ways to get to know students and build strong connections is to share time in complex or work-intensive activities. Spending a full day early in the school year hiking a mountain with students, for example, forges strong teacher-student relationships, especially as you help one another navigate narrow boulder passes at higher altitudes. Witnessing our students outside normal classroom and school contexts reveals something closer to their true selves. It's gold.<br />

Sponsoring a student club, sport, or extracurricular activity (school newspaper, TV station, or literary magazine) or joining students in a small on-stage or behind-the-scenes role in the school musical are excellent ways to create esprit de corps. In such experiences, we recognize the value in one another and in working together. We can't help but be loyal to one another and invested in one another's success. For students—and for teachers—this is often a pleasant surprise.</div>

Practice Empathy</h2>

Students feel connected to teachers whom they perceive as understanding them. To inhabit another, however, we must inhibit ourselves—subordinating our own knowledge and perspectives for a moment and embracing the other's world. This takes practice. We can begin the school year focusing on these few empathy-building steps:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.85em; line-height: 1.45em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">

"It's so clear in my own head; why isn't it clear in Kiki's head?" we reason. "Everyone else learned it this way, so it must be something wrong with Kiki. She's not trying hard enough." Effective teachers look through the first-timer's eyes as they plan and deliver instruction. They catch misconceptions before they fester, perceive helpful connections and clarifications for students, and avoid teaching today's lessons through automated verbal memory from their years of expertise in the topic.</li>
<li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: url("../images/bullet_circular_black.png") !important; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 5px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.85em; line-height: 1.25em; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px 0px 5px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">Attend to students' essential human needs. Indifference to basic health does not engender goodwill. So be attentive: Are students hydrated, well-fed, and rested? Are they moving enough to get oxygen to the brain? Do we need more lighting, fresh air, or different seats? Can everyone see the display area? Do all students have equal access to the tools this lesson requires?</li>
<li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: url("../images/bullet_circular_black.png") !important; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 5px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.85em; line-height: 1.25em; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px 0px 5px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">Avoid over-generalizing about students. English language learners, for instance, vary widely in language proficiencies, educational background, need for support, creativity, and more; treating them all the same undermines teacher-student relationships and students' learning. Affirm students as the individuals they are, not the limited stereotypes invoked by our limited experience. The Thai student in 5th period is not the official spokesperson for everyone from Thailand. The student with ear buds seemingly fused into his ears may not be trying to block out the world by listening to his favorite hip-hop artists, but instead listening to thoughtful podcasts of great poetry, gaming strategies, or speeches from his religious leaders. The student with purple hair may be a happy, well-adjusted rule follower who just happens to like purple hair.</li>

We're In This Together</h2>

Face it: We can only do our jobs as teachers if students do what we ask of them. On any day, students can refuse to participate or can even get up and walk out. In some classrooms, cooperation is tenuous at best, but in successful classrooms it's on solid ground. Teaching is done <i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">with</i> students, not <i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">to</i> them.</div>

To create that mutual ethos, teachers and students employ civil discourse that honors what each group brings to the table. When disagreeing, we demonstrate that we've heard and understood the other's point of view. We don't diminish one another with derision. We assume that at any given moment in the lesson, both of us—teacher and student—are probably doing the best we can. If we wrong each other in some manner, we apologize and try to make amends.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.85em; line-height: 1.45em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Both of us want respect for our efforts and our individual natures; we want to be accepted and to matter to others. As teachers, we show respect by being knowledgeable in our fields and in how to teach them, by following through on our promises, and by finding ways to make curriculum content meaningful to students. To show respect to us, students do the class activities and assignments, follow our classroom rules, and make sincere efforts to learn course content without complaint.</div>

Mutuality is not just helpful to students; it's also invigorating to teachers. We are more willing to invest in students when we feel connected to them. We get excited as we plan lessons for particular individuals, take satisfaction in responding to student work and providing helpful feedback, and enjoy students' "aha!" moments when we've really made the connection. This is why we went into teaching in the first place; it's where we find the strength to work hard all day and late into the evening and then get up the next morning and do it all over again.</div>

Now, I see that your name is "Ellie." Is it short for something? Tell me more. You are a person worth knowing.</i></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Why is the school district focused on facility needs at our high school?</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In 2011, the school district completed a comprehensive analysis of all district facilities. The analysis identified tier one, two, and three needs throughout the school district. Tier one needs spanned all schools and totaled $10 million. These needs were addressed since the study was completed, leaving tier one needs remaining at the high school. The school district made the decision in 2014 to complete a comprehensive analysis of tier one needs at our high school. The district is now focused on how to address the substantial needs at our high school. Both the 2011 and 2014 studies are located on our website. </span></div>

All schools need upgraded entrance systems that meet 2016 safety standards. Our school entrances are currently not safe. Consistent with 2016 standards, safe-school entrances allow building staff to “buzz” a visitor into a secure-office area, complete a background check, and then allow the visitor access to the rest of the school. The school district’s community survey shows more than 85% of responding citizens support safety renovations. </span></div>

Current needs at our high school equal $48 to $50 million. There is approximately $60 to $70 million of structural value in our current school. Our high school is land rich and is conveniently located near a major highway. The architectural and construction firms the school district has contracted with do not recommend building a new school. </span></div>

The community survey results show that 68% of respondents support a comprehensive solution to our high-school facility needs. The referendum question posed to voters on November 8 will address all high-school facility needs and safety-and-security needs across all schools.

The school board hosts a drop-in coffee discussion at Edith’s Cafe the second Thursday morning of each month from 7:30 am to 8:30 am. The district answers all questions presented on the district’s Facebook page or Twitter account. Lastly, the school district’s website has an open-comment and question page under the facilities tab that offers anyone in the community opportunity to ask questions or give input. Please check the web page for up-to-the-minute date and times for community input: <a href="http://www.bdusd.org/district/referendum.cfm">Public Input Opportunities</a></span></div>

A community survey was distributed in May 2015 to all residents of the school district asking residents if they support a referendum. The results of the survey shows 73% of all residents approve pursuing a referendum and 68% of residents support a $48.9 million referendum to address high-school and safety-and-security needs. The board unanimously voted to move to referendum on November 8, based on input from Beaver Dam citizens and the results of the community survey.</span></div>

A successful November 2016 referendum would result in a completed high school by fall 2018. Students would remain in the school during construction. This is a common project in the State of Wisconsin. This type of renovation is currently underway at Ripon High School by the construction firm that is consulting with BDUSD. </span></div>

The 2016-2017 school year in the Beaver Dam Unified School District (BDUSD) is no exception. As we prepare to start the new school year, we will welcome 35 new teachers and 5 new administrators to Beaver Dam. Students will be excited to see new technology in their classrooms as they return, and parents will be elated to realize that school-supply lists have been reduced at every level; saving parents an average of $30 per student on school supplies.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Beaver Dam High School (BDHS) will welcome Crystal Bates as the new principal. Ms. Bates previously served as the associate principal overseeing assessment and curriculum at BDHS. Long-time Beaver Dam teacher Peter Woreck will move from the classroom to the office as he fills the position vacated by Ms. Bates. Former BDHS Principal Mark DiStefano is enjoying his new role as the school district’s Director of Human Resources. Beaver Dam Middle School (BDMS) will welcome Andrew Christophersen as the associate principal. Mr. Christophersen comes to BDMS via the West Bend Area School District where he enjoyed time as a lead teacher. Dan Lueck will assume the principal duties at the Don Smith Learning Academy (DSLA). Mr. Lueck will continue to teach at DSLA as he splits time between the classroom and building leadership responsibilities. Paul Friedmann will also move from the classroom to the office as he assumes the role of Coordinator of District Technology. Mr. Friedemann has been a teacher leader at BDMS for more than 25 years.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Turning to technology, all BDMS students will receive a Chromebook computer at the start of the year to use throughout the school year. The students will take the device home each night with the responsibility for care of the device, much like the textbooks distributed each year. The only cost to parents is a $15 insurance fee that will cover normal-use problems. The insurance cost is balanced against a reduction in items on the start-of-the-year school-supply list, which averages a cost savings of $31 for each middle school student. This is an exciting change for our middle school, and one we have been planning for more than 15 months. If you have questions about this initiative, please contact BDMS Principal John Casper. </span><br />

The closing days of school can present unique challenges for students, parents and school staff. This is a good time of year to take a moment and reflect on the importance of avoiding power struggles with children and young adults. The piece below was taken from the National Education Association's website (http://www.nea.org/tools/49922.htm) and is a quick read that reminds all of us about the Dos and Don'ts of avoiding power struggles with our students and children. You will find additional resources at the end of the article if you would like to explore this topic in more detail. <br />
<br />
<div class="sm-sharing" style="clear: both; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">

<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“I hate you, and I hate this school!” This isn’t the reaction educators are looking for in the middle of class. But disruptive and confrontational students are sometimes an unavoidable challenge. If handled poorly, these confrontations can lead to power struggles – and more disruptions.</div>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">

Fortunately, many educators have developed strategies for dealing with confrontational students. At the top of the list: “Never get into a power struggle,” says Mary Barela, a middle school teacher in Fort Collins, Colorado. “You are the adult and know better. If the conversation feels like it is slipping toward a power struggle, find a way to change the course.” </div>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
That may feel like it is easier said than done, so we asked educators for their advice on defusing tense situations with students. Here's their list of Dos and Don’ts.</div>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">

ENGAGE STUDENTS BY PROVIDING A “HOOK” FOR EACH LESSON AT THE BEGINNING TO KEEP THEM THINKING AND INTERESTED.</h4>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Dr. Robert Feller from the University of Washington believes these hooks prevent potential disruptions and stimulate students’ minds so they focus on the upcoming lesson. Teachers can do anything from a simple science experiment to a game that connects students’ lives to the lesson.</div>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“Attention grabbers may be used to provoke thought, facilitate active learning, or just share experiences, says retired teacher LaNelle Holland in Whitesburg, Georgia. “The teacher who asks challenging questions stimulates student interest. Empower your students by encouraging them to participate in activities of the whole group or in smaller groups.”</div>
<ul style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; list-style-type: circle; margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px;">

TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE STUDENT’S BACKGROUND AND HOME LIFE.</h4>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Problems at home or a difficult home life are often a reason for disruptive children. If you know where your students are coming from, you are in a better position to relate. Author and education researcher Dr. Elise Trumbull believes that a connection with students creates a level of respect and trust between students and the teachers. If teachers can start to understand students’ cultures better, a partnership can be formed between school and the home with the parents.</div>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“Taking the time to learn about a child’s background can make the difference between compassion and callousness,” says retired teacher Diane Postman of Yorktown, Virginia. “Knowing a child is dealing with family issues or poverty can lead a teacher to make allowances or adaptations to help a struggling child succeed. This can ward off some behavioral problems and help the child to save face.”</div>
<ul style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; list-style-type: circle; margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: url("/assets/img/template/bullet-beige.png"); background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 7px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: initial; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px 0px 6px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 12px;"><h4 style="color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.63636; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">
MAKE IT A TEACHING MOMENT.</h4>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
When a disagreement or confrontation arises, show the student how to deal with it in a dignified manner and maintain the integrity of your classroom. Frank Iannucci, a math and computer science teacher from West Orange, New Jersey, says teachers should immediately stop the confrontation and arrange to discuss it with the student in a mature, adult manner, regardless of the age of the student, after the period. This demonstrates to students that fights can be stopped before they get out of hand.</div>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Amy Van Wormer of St. Petersburg, Florida, agrees. “Respectfully remind them of why they are there, and continue with the lesson. If [the behavior] continues, request to meet [the student] privately outside of the class,” she says. “[Ask the student] to make the right choices and ask why they are having trouble doing the right thing.”</div>
<ul style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; list-style-type: circle; margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px;">

REACT IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS THE STUDENT TO SAVE FACE.</h4>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Never engage a student in front of classmates. It embarrasses the student in public, sends a message that you don’t care for the student’s feelings, and could potentially escalate the situation.</div>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“Maintain control of your own actions and somehow find a way to give the disruptive student an ‘out’ so that he or she can back down without losing too much face,” says Barela. “Another option, if possible, is to remove the student from the learning environment so that the two of you can deal with the issue privately. Even taking a short walk out in the hall can do wonders for both of you.”</div>
<h3 style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.125; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 12px 0px 0px;">

REACT TO EVERY LITTLE DISTRACTION UNLESS IT IS DISTRACTING OTHER STUDENTS.</h4>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
If you react to everything that goes on in a classroom, you’ll lose too much valuable teaching time. If the primary problem is one child’s behavior, you can talk to him or her in private, but as long as the student isn’t disrupting the class, it’s not worth stopping instruction to address a situation.</div>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Linda Marino, a special education teacher in Mexico, New York, has one method to avoid power struggles. “I have certain students who love to instigate and distract each other, so I made distraction tickets. I give students a ticket when they ignore the negative behavior of another and do not let that student distract them.

Keep your composure while dealing with students, because disruptive students will look for any opening to create chaos. You need to be a role model for students and show how to properly deal with an argument.</div>

“Don't get ‘in their face’ and stay calm!” says Holland. “Also, don’t take it personally. Kids run rampant on emotions and if handled correctly, you can usually keep it under control.”</div>

ATTEMPT TO GET THE LAST WORD.</h4>

Fighting for the last word in an argument only prolongs the argument. Try to understand where the student is coming from, but don’t add more fuel to the fire by adding a quick jab at the end.</div>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
According to Christopher Perillo, a high school science teacher in Kenosha, Wisconsin, “Teachers who insist on having the last word are bringing themselves down to a juvenile level. Students will remember this and that teacher’s value will be diminished.”</div>

USE LANGUAGE THAT WILL PUT THE STUDENT ON THE DEFENSIVE.</h4>

It is much better to focus on what you don’t understand by using “I statements” and “feeling statements” rather than “you statements.” This will allow the student to explain instead of argue their point. It also allows the student to understand that the teacher isn’t trying to pin them into a corner or assess blame, but rather understand the student’s actions.</div>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“We all can get angry at some point in our lives, but how we deal with it constructively is important,” says Patrice Palmer, a second-grade teacher in Las Vegas, Nevada. “Using ‘I’ messages and not ‘you, you, you’ messages is important because it doesn’t put someone on the defensive.”</div>
<div style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.57143; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Following these dos and don’ts should help you run a smoother classroom and allow students to be academically engaged instead of engaging in arguments.</div>

Letters get sent home to families explaining the test, and staff appropriately prepares students in hopes for each student’s success on the test. Starting early in students’ educational years, they understand that there will be certain days dedicated to this type of testing. By the time students get to high school, the testing plays a major role in their goals and plans for after graduation. </span></span><br />

This test is an indicator of where the students will score when they take the ACT during their junior year. Students are tested in the areas of reading, math, science, writing, and English. It is a time-based test that is completed on a computer, and the high school has an adjusted schedule for two days to ensure a positive environment. Students are reminded of doing their best on the test, but why is it so important?</span></span><br />

The student-service department places students in appropriate classes depending on the student scores. Staff get the opportunity to discuss and analyze the scores within their departments and make changes to their instruction if needed. Based on scores from the tests, students can begin to narrow down their choices of colleges or other plans after high school, continue to work in areas that need improvement (as indicated on the test), and take appropriate classes that will challenge them the last two years of high school. According to Crystal Bates, Associate Principal of Curriculum and Instruction, “The results we receive are key to the future pathway of all students. They provide additional benchmarks and help teachers with their instruction. Students are able to see if they are at grade level in each subject and on track to be college and ca</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">reer ready.” </span></span><br />

Students put forth their best efforts this year on the ACT Aspire, and we hope that the results indicate that our ACT scores will continue to be the highest in the area! </span></span></span></div>

Without underestimating the hard working students and wonderful families that populate Beaver Dam schools, our world class teachers who serve these students are the foundation of the advancements we have made. </span></div>

It is easy to forget the profound impact that great teachers have on students. This week provides all an opportunity to stop and reflect on the great teachers who have reached out and touched our lives and the lives of the students they serve. At times this is done with an inviting smile, an encouraging conversation, or a push to reach for goals once seen as unattainable. Take a minute to think about a teacher who impacted your life. Think about the footprint they left on you. Send that person a note this week, thank them, and remind that person of the impact they have on the future world in which we will live. Remind our youth to focus on the positive aspects of their lives, to reflect on the growth they have made this school year, and to recognize the tremendous impact a teacher had on their successes. </span></div>

Children are able to enjoy and benefit from good mental health as it helps them form positive relationships and with everyday experiences. Developing emotional health and experiencing school success depends upon the care that children receive at home, in our community, and at school. Developing and maintaining positive relationships, learning to cope with adversity and stress, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are ways to help our children face challenges. We can help children develop these skills, work through adversity, and build resiliency. </span></div>

When students experience problems such as getting along with peers, sadness, depression, anxiousness, or loss of a loved one, there are supports at school to assist our students. School psychologists, school counselors, social workers, and nurses routinely support students with mild to severe needs and identified mental-health conditions. On a daily basis, the student-services staff consult with teachers, parents, and community providers. In the Beaver Dam Unified School District, our student services staff provide classroom presentations about social/emotional development, protective behaviors, and social skills. Some students who are experiencing more struggles may receive individual counseling or work in a group with other students. When needed, our staff partners with community professionals to help the student(s) and parent(s).</span></div>

Modeling positive attitudes and positive emotions is very important. Using a “can do” problem-solving approach to situations teaches children a sense of power and promise. Express love and gratitude! Praise should always occur much more often than criticism. Positive emotions buffer kids against depression and other negative reactions to adversity. Express yourself! Parents who help kids become more aware of emotions, label emotions appropriately, and help children deal with upsetting events are giving their children useful life skills. Get fit! Healthy eating habits, regular exercise and adequate sleep protect kids against the stress of tough ordeals. Regular exercise also decreases negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, and depression. Foster competency! Children who achieve academic success and who develop individual talents, such as playing sports, drawing, making things, playing musical instruments or playing games are much more likely to feel competent and contain the ability to deal with stress positively. Having friends, staying connected to friends and loved ones, and helping others can also foster and increase resiliency. </span></div>

The founder, who is a Wisconsin native, explained that the Super Girl program is structured around six-core principles. Each principle is further developed into ten lesson plans and provides a focused program that involves skits, role playing, discussions about real-life experiences, conversations around cyber-bullying, true understandings around bullying, positive relationships, and leadership.</span></div>

Helping students reach their academic potential and watching them grow is one of the most exciting things that can happen in a school. Ask any teacher, and they will tell you there is nothing better than being a part of student success. As educators, we value academics. We also value the way we treat one another. Caring and kindness matters. </span></div>

In October, one of our crossing guards was injured while helping our students cross the street safely. Students and staff donated money toward a get-well gift to let her know we were thinking of her. Students made her cards and wrote letters to let her know that we cared about her. We also celebrated our grandparents in October by having them join their grandchild for lunch. The students loved eating with their grandparents and showed appreciation for them. In November, Lincoln School participated in the district-wide food drive, and the amount of food collected was nothing short of amazing. Prior to Christmas break, the staff at Lincoln School raised money to help a family in need. Our gift was in knowing we helped make someone’s Christmas special. In January, we showed our crossing guards that we care about them by having students deliver special treats everyday, and we also invited them to have lunch at school on a day of their choice. We value the special people who are a part of our students’ lives.</span></div>

Spearheaded by Jessica Michael of the PTO, the staff and students at Lincoln School are going to focus on how we can care for one another. At the beginning of the month, we will provide the students with a calendar that provides many different ways students can exemplify caring in their school, at home, and in their community. The ideas presented do not need to happen in any particular order, nor are they required. The hope is that students will realize their acts of kindness positively affects the receivers of their goodwill and will then entice the students to continue their caring behaviors. The students will have the opportunity to share their good deeds with their classmates and teacher throughout the days and month. The teachers will provide opportunities for students to share how it made them feel when they showed someone else that they cared for them. </span></div>

Throughout that week, there are special activities for students in which to participate. The week is another opportunity for students to show people they care by participating in the following opportunities: collecting canned goods, having a special dress-up day, and participating in a dollar-hat day with donations going to the American Family Children’s Hospital Cancer Fund. As parents and teachers, we hope that students will remember how it feels to treat others with kindness and caring.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">In 2011, the district completed a comprehensive district-wide facility study. The study identified facility needs across our district. From 2011 to 2015, the district completed $10 million in facility and technology work, addressing the major needs identified in the district-facility study and leaving only large-scale mechanical and remodeling needs at the high school.</span></div>

During the 2014-2015 school year, the district completed a comprehensive educational-needs assessment of the high-school campus and a district-wide safety-and-security assessment of all district buildings. Both assessments were completed and significant needs were identified.</span></div>

The 1958 campus was not designed for the modern teaching-and-learning demands of today’s students and teachers and does not reflect 2015 safety-and-security requirements for schools. The other eight schools in our district do not reflect post Columbine and Sandy Hook safety-and-security structural requirements either. Specifically, the entrances to all nine buildings need to be remodeled to meet 2015 safety requirements. </span></div>

Meeting the maintenance needs of our buildings has been and will continue to be a budget priority for the school district.

We will spend the next eight months sharing specific information about our needs with staff and community members and listening to feedback regarding what actions we should or should not take. We will distribute a community survey in late April asking specific questions regarding our facility-and-safety needs. The school board will make a decision in August 2016 regarding what path we will take to address the needs we have. The feedback the school board receives from our staff and community will drive the school board’s decision. </span></div>

We will meet with staff and community representatives to discuss these topics throughout the next eight months. Representatives from the school board and administration will talk with staff from all buildings at faculty meetings in late winter and early spring. By December 1, our website will hold all facility information in one place and will provide an area for written feedback. Our communication calendar articulates the current opportunities we have planned for sharing information and gathering feedback from the community. </span><br />

Run. What started as a school-fundraising project three years ago has
grown into a community-building event for the students, staff, and parents. It
all begins with students setting a goal for the number of laps they will run
and seeking family and friends to promise the students pledges for completing
the run. While the students set goals and pursue pledges, PTO members
pair up with local businesses that provide financial support to carry out the
event. Then the day of the run: a huge number of parents and family
members come to help and watch as <i><u>every</u> </i>student and <i><u>every</u></i>
teacher participate in the run. “It’s like a big sporting event; everyone
is so supportive and so proud to be a Bulldog,” declares Principal Laura Maron.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

It’s due to the tremendous support of our families and our community.
Children thrive on the opportunity to do an activity like this alongside
their teachers, and they love to have their parents participate at school as
well. The partnership that PTOs have developed in our schools provides
opportunities students otherwise may not have. Parent involvement is a key
contributor to the success of our students. </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 11pt;">Researchers have been
studying the effects that parent attitudes and actions have on their children’s
academic success for many years, and they have consistently reported that
children with parents involved in their education and schools earn better
grades, score higher on tests, and much more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">We recognize the value of our PTOs and the
opportunities they bring to our school communities. Jesse Peters, Prairie
View Principal, states, “The PTO is a great way to bridge school-parent
communication and relationships.” Christine Ziemann, Wilson and South Beaver Dam Principal, agrees. Mrs. Ziemann proclaims, “The support and the
funding that the PTO provides help to make our school family stronger. They are
a very important part of our school, and we are grateful for them.” </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">Thank you PTOs, and thank
you parents for your commitment and involvement in your child’s education and
our schools.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Everyone loves praise and recognition for the hard work they do,
kids included. Best practice is to provide students with at least 5
positive comments to every one negative comment. This 5:1 ratio helps
students understand what is expected of them, builds self-esteem, and
reinforces the positive behaviors students are exhibiting.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Prairie View to receive this positive recognition and to show others the
positives as well. Brag Tags are necklaces that each student at Prairie
View has that are filled with colored beads and plastic tags that represent
positive behaviors. The idea of Brag Tags was brought to Prairie View by
Heidi Graff, a Prairie View fourth-grade teacher. She had seen Brag Tags
promoted elsewhere and thought it would be a wonderful way to acknowledge great
student behaviors. Ms. Graff commented, “</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 11.0pt;">Brag Tags are a fun, cool way to
recognize students for all the wonderful things they do each day at school!
The kids are really excited about the tags and motivated to earn as many
tags and homework beads as possible! By the end of the year, I expect the
necklaces filled with lots of tags and beads, all of which represent the many
accomplishments of a successful school year!” </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The Prairie View Parent Teacher
Organization quickly jumped on board, supported the idea of Brag Tags, and
purchased the Brag-Tag materials for the school. Kelly Kuenzi, Prairie
View PTO co-president shared, “</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 11.0pt;">I think Brag Tags are a great school-wide incentive that will
help promote and reward positive behavior and hard work. They will
motivate students to have responsible, respectful, and safe behaviors at
school.”</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

where all the Brag Tags are displayed. On Fridays and during special
occasions, such as positive behavior assemblies, students wear their Brag-Tag
necklaces at school. Right now the necklaces are rather bare, but throughout
the school year, students will earn colored beads for behaviors such as turning
in homework or completing reading activities. Each month students also
have the opportunity to earn a special school-wide tag for a specific behavior
such as respect, responsibility, or trustworthiness. Even within art,
music, and physical education classes, students earn special tags for their behavior,
performance, or effort. So as the year progresses, students’ necklaces
will become increasingly colorful and abundantly filled with acknowledgements
of their successes.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
