A Message from Dr. Gene Sharratt

Dear Colleagues,

Mary Alice, Marcie, Gary Kipp, and I are excited about this opportunity to give you the "inside Olympia" story of our work.  We promise a lively evening of information, fun, and the good old Cougar spirit.  If possible, Mary Alice might be able to give a tour of her office and the inside workings of Chief of  Staff.  I will check to see if we can obtain the Senate Rules Room in the legislative building.   With 30 Cougs coming to Olympia, we have to put on a good show.

Thanks to everyone for making this great effort.

Go Cougs!

Gene

See you all on 11/21 @ 6 pm in Olympia!

Philosophy Assignment w/ Rubric Due 10/9

•Develop your Philosophy of Assessment

•What will you adhere to in your practice?

•What are you beliefs about the usage of data?

•What are your non-negotiables?

•What can your staff count on from you?

•How do TPEP, CCSS and student growth fit?

•Put your main concepts into a presentation you can share with your first staff.

•Prepare to share in small groups next week.

We'll use this rubric to give each other feedback on this assignment:

Content reflects thoughtfulness and completeness (depth)

1 2 3 4

Material is logically organized

1 2 3 4

Philosophy is articulated clearly

1 2 3 4

Presentation reflects competence of the leader

1 2 3 4

How long should it be? If we gave everyone 10 minutes it would take us over 2 hours to hear them all...which is why you'll be sharing in a smaller group and giving each other feedback. Think about how long you'd like to hear your principal talk about this topic at a staff meeting...that might help you plan the length. This assignment is intended to help you articulate what you believe and value in this area.
