Standard 4: Makes effective contributions to the total school program

Evidence1: Plays an instructional leadership role by sharing expertise and ideas, which will enhance programs for students, teachers and parents. 

 

Context: murals were created and directed by me with help from the community(students, staff, and parents)
Reflection: These mural were created on beautification day. I am the chairperson of the beautification committee and when I was asked to be in charge or drawing and help paint the mural, I felt overwhelmed by such a large task in a short time alone, but I got it done successfully. In the end the experience was rewarding hearing the rave reviews from the supportive staff.
Goals: This mural was not easy and was executed in less than a week. That added much unneeded stress. Next time this will take a comfortable month to really brainstorm and make small corrections in the end.


Evidence2: Promotes classroom and school programs and activities, which reflect high expectations for all students and requires them to demonstrate their learning.

 

Context: A pep rally was held to cheer on a promote a positive energry for students to achieve high on their DC CAS
Reflection: My good friends Angie ange and DJ Quick Silva  of 93.9 radio were more than happy to host this event to promote high scores. This was the most exciting event of the year that I put together. It wasn’t your typical pep rally because the prizes were so great. Some students won a chance to meet top selling boy group Day 26 while other students won tickets to see a huge concert featuring singer Keri Hilson. Quick Silva and Angie have always been supportive of me and Coolidge and I thank them.
Goals: For the future I would also plan for teachers to get involved in the pep rally(a song and dance). The more people in attendance the better.


Evidence3: Promotes classroom and school programs and activities, which reflect high expectations for all students and requires them to demonstrate their learning.

 

 Context: Career day, I was in charge of the Music and Arts room
Reflection: I was able to bring 3 of my good friends to Coolidge to help and give insight of the music and arts world. Lance Wigs-Artist, Dre Hopson-Producer, Raheem Devaughn-Singer/song writter. This was an amazing successful career day. The students review was extremely grateful.

Goals: Would like to bring more adults from other fields outside of The Arts in the future.


 Evidence: Promotes classroom and school programs and activities, which reflect high expectations for all students and requires them to demonstrate their learning.

 

Context: Trained special education for special Olympics

Reflection: This was a good time to get students out of the classroom and get their body moving. We were successful in still learning while we were practicing.

Goals: Would like to get more teachers in this joint effort
