Parents as Partners
• Lack of sleep=lack of focus in class = 2 years below
grade level performance
• Check homework assignments online – posted
assignments
• Attendance everyday –increase attendance by 1%
• Eat a good breakfast
• Parent-teacher communication – post grades
immediately so they can check and be up-to-date on
work completed
• When students miss school-make sure they get
opportunity to make up missed work immediately –
post work so they can complete homework while home
sick
• Allow/require students to perform make up work/do
overs
Fundamental Belief
Schools Can & Will
Make a
Powerful
Difference
41
Teachers Make a Difference
• “The single greatest factor that impacts
learning is the quality of the teacher
standing in front of the students every
day”
• Teacher effectiveness must be our
laser-like focus, theme, professional
development, and our primary issue
• Cannot overcome two years of poor
teaching…students at huge
disadvantage
42
Some Attribute the Achievement Gap To….
• Lack of good role
•
•
•
•
models
Language differences
Lack of parental
support
Poor
No quiet place to study
• Poor peer choices
• Lazy
• Were not prepared by
past teachers
• Lack of focus
• Lack of sleep & food
No one is to blame.
43
What do we believe?
• About the potential of each individual
student?
• About the skills and abilities of our
colleagues?
• About the impacts of ethnicity, home
language, socio-economic status?
• If we Believe all students can achieve at high
levels, why do we allow some to fail? -on the
road to dropping out…ex. Saturday
