Active reading strategies are used in the class. Also active reading strategies are taught so that students can use them in their internship. |
Analyze reading, writing and vocabulary strategies used in the classrooms during PLC meetings. |
I evaluate the reading, writing and vocabulary strategies used in class. |
Provide assistance/remediation after school and during Major Time as needed. |
I am available before and after school to assist students. I also issue Major Time passes; sometimes I initiate the pass and sometimes the student asks. |
All teachers will continue to participate in PLC’s and plan lessons that include reading, writing and vocabulary improvement |
I strive to adapt lessons and seek new ideas that include reading, writing and vocabulary. |
Instruction of writing strategies specific to the content area. |
Students write seven essays for their portfolio and daily journals during their internship. |
Focus warm-up activities on activating essential prior content knowledge and content specific vocabulary. |
Warm-ups include recalling prior Teacher Cadet knowledge and Teacher Cadet vocabulary. |

Sponsors and members of clubs and organizations will identify and advertise service opportunities and projects. |
FEA and FCCLA have quarterly service projects and additional opportunities to mentor/tutor/or provide child care at nearby schools. |
More students will be nominated for Character Education awards. |
I nominate one student each month for the Character Education Award. |
