  4. Communications • Goals: • To engage students in the basic principles of communication. • To encourage students to be able to transfer the basic principles of communication to the real world. • Means: • Speeches; Debate; Newspaper • Class discussions • Individual and Group Projects

  5. Teach – Retest – Test • Students learn at different rates. Our goal as teachers is to make sure that each student masters the skills, even if it takes more than one assessment. • 69% or lower on summative assessment:Students are required to attend a re-teach session and re-take. • All other students have the option to re-teach/test.

  6. Formative Assessments • Daily assessments are used to determine students’ progress toward mastery of learning goals. • Formative assessments do not count toward the report card grade.

  7. ROAR • It is important that our Lions exhibit the PBIS ROAR every day in class. • Respect one another. • Take Ownership of your classroom & work. • Come ready to Achieve! • Be Responsible for your assignments and materials.

  8. How can I help? • Talk to your student about his or her reading and writing each week: • What book are you doing in Communications? • Discuss the news and/or other means of communication in your household. • Thoroughly go over Internet Safety! • Donate an item to our Workshop Center: • Magic Markers, Glue sticks, Card Stock, Stickers, Tissues, Index Cards, Colored Pencils, Magazines, Newspapers (monitored for safe content).
