Woodland Middle School staff are off and running for the new school year! The following topics are explained in more detail below:
District Directed Professional Development (DDPD) Days
We had a positive six days back during professional development week with staff. Our focus this fall was on Explicit Instruction (primarily tied to the work of Anita Archer). Additionally, we continued our school wide focus on “Step Up To Writing.” We also spent some time working as professional learning teams getting to know each other’s personality/work style based on the “16 personalities” website.
Lunch and Lockers
We were excited to have an amazing turnout for lunch and lockers. We had approximately 550 students sign in bringing their parents/guardians. This was a great time for them to meet teachers, tour the school, and have lunch. We were able to distribute student schedules so they could visit their classes and practice opening their lockers.
