Posted by Jason Cooper on 2/11/2024

"Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny."— Lao-Tze--

CEL to Ponder:

A2 Student use of formative assessments over time-

Students use formative assessments at least two to three times per year/course and use formative assessments within each unit to assess their own learning, determine learning goals, and monitor progress over time.  
 
A Little Humor:

-Why didn’t Han Solo enjoy his steak dinner? It was Chewie.-


-Did you hear about the racing snail who got rid of his shell? He thought it would make him faster, but it just made him sluggish.

-A turtle is crossing the road when he’s mugged by two snails. When the police ask him what happened, the shaken turtle replies, “I don’t know. It all happened so fast.”

-Singing in the shower is fun until you get soap in your mouth. Then it’s a soap opera.

-Jack was nimble, Jack was quick, but Jack still couldn't dodge Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick.
 
Reflection:

Grit: The power of passion and perseverance


 
Leaving a high-flying job in consulting, Angela Lee Duckworth took a job teaching math to seventh graders in a New York public school. She quickly realized that IQ wasn't the only thing separating successful students from those who struggled. Here, she explains her theory of "grit" as a predictor of success.
