Hello Teachers!  We are off to an extraordinary start to the year! Bella Vista's September Focus Areas include analyzing our STAR data and planning for skills groups.  

TK/Kinder - 2nd will find a PD slide deck that can walk you through how to organize your data, use resources, and target needs with explicit instruction. 

3rd - 5th will begin their Skills Groups with planning tools and support from Julie Johnson. 

All materials provided here are excellent resources available to everyone!  

I am also including the UDL Design Lab night slides that I will be presenting at the District. The focus for that night is around Student Goal Setting. Goal setting is an excellent way to infuse UDL practices into your day that allows students to take ownership of their learning. 

I am also including the ELP Newsletter brought to you by Sonia Montano. ELD groups begin this month and she has some fantastic ideas!
