So far this year the Elementary Staff has participated in two Professional Development sessions; August 31<sup>st<\/sup> and October 13<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout these workshops, the staff has been led through presentations focusing on important areas such as: checking for understanding, academic ethos, ratio, and behavior and culture. \u201cChecking for Understanding\u201d involves implementing strategies for students to more effectively show whether they understand a concept fully, partially, or are still in need of guidance. \u201cAcademic Ethos\u201d pertains to content our teachers present and how far they can stretch instruction. \u201cRatio\u201d, in this context, refers to how much independent, cognitive work a teacher can encourage from a student. \u201cBehavior and Culture\u201d focus on creating positive behavior as well as a classroom climate that is respectful.<\/p>\n<p>This component of <em>Teach Like a Champion<\/em> <em>2.0<\/em> provides our staff with great examples and models of how to be a champion teacher! The entire staff are looking forward to moving through the next few chapters as the year progresses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Amanda B.
