4. Staff Buy-in - "We teach who we are." Staff doesn't come trained! (football)
5. Early Release - earned planning block
6. Reading strategies:
Slosson, Oral taping (discontinued)
Consistency in beginning reading - Open Court phonics
Literature studies - purposeful teaching of character throughout the curriculum
Integrated Language Arts
More communication with Title 1
7. Patriotic song of the month, Pillar of the month (always on announcements), Bulletin Board, Students honored monthly
8. Pledge - signed by student, parent, teacher at beginning of year - said each day on announcements
9. Partners in Education - RMAC - mural, Pizza Hut - luncheon for honorees, Golden Corral - trip for students, Armstrong Energy - adopting kids
10. Constantly revisit our data and climate (recent meeting) to refine the process.
"Every day at Monterrey, I pledge to ...
show respect for everyone,
take care of property,
walk quietly in the building,
be responsible for my words, my actions, and my learning."
