The Flossmoor Hills staff was honored to host a team of teachers from Portage Park Elementary School in Chicago to observe standards based learning in action. The team conducted classroom observations to learn about student engagement, the implementation of learning goals, proficiency scales and student data reflection forms. The team then participated in a standards based learning roundtable to discourse around questions related to learning and grading practices. I am incredibly proud of the Flossmoor Hills team for engaging at a high level and providing critical feedback to our educational partners to begin this important work! Thank you to Dr. Smith and Ms. Crawford for supporting our team as we build bridges in the larger educational community and showcase the amazing work taking place in Flossmoor School District.
Thank you to the Flossmoor Hills dad's group, Dad Force One for motivating our students to do their best during NWEA testing. Dads visited each classroom to encourage students for testing and provided them with motivational bracelets. They also hosted open gym to teach students strategies to use on the court and in the classroom. We appreciate our dad's for supporting our students!
