Dear
RUSD Team,
Please
note the delay in start of the RUSD Engagement Survey, October 29, 2018.
A
note from Gallup:
Riverside
Unified School District has partnered with Gallup, an independent research and
consulting company, to conduct the RUSD Engagement Survey. You will soon
receive an email from Gallup inviting you to participate in the online survey.
It will be open from October 29 to November 9 and should take only a few
minutes to complete.
Gallup
will hold your personal responses completely confidential. Under no
circumstances will your responses be revealed to anyone at RUSD. After
everyone has completed the survey, Gallup will generate reports that summarize
the responses for each department/site. To protect your confidentiality,
reports will be generated only for groups with at least four employees
participating in the survey. No individual responses will be reported.
You
will learn the results of the survey later this winter. It is important that
you participate in the survey so your voice can be heard. Please watch for
another email message from Gallup which will give you instructions on taking
the survey.

People Be Heard"

a fantastic weekend!

Nuts and Bolts

Common Commitments – We are going to implement the RA in RACE. We are going to use collaboration/Productive Partnering and Sentence frames.
You were provided with RACE (ELA and Math), the 4 L’s and sentence frame posters. They are expected to be up and used in all classrooms (important for coherence). They do not have to be the exact ones we passed out but they need to be the same in content - I understand wall space can be a challenge.
We are going to model RA verbally by using complete sentences and holding students accountable for responding in complete sentences.
As we move forward this school year I want to also remind you that we are focusing on core instruction. If we are focused on high levels of instruction with engaging and meaningful standards based lessons we are well on our way to moving students. RACE, collaboration, sentence frames and modeling complete sentences, are some instructional strategies that can help us move students.
DANIELSON 3C - Student Engagement
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
10/31 - Rhonda Egana
