Morning Minute for January 31st

  • As a reminder the following people will be at the SIT training tomorrow: Ruth Howard, Michelle McMillan, Leah Dickey and Dan Carpenter. Leah & Michelle will be here to support until around 10:00. I will be available via text/email.
  • If students don't like their schedule or feel like there is a mistake they still need to follow what their schedule says tomorrow. Do not send them to the lobby/office unless they do not have a class listed on their schedule. Please be sure to be vigilant with attendance as there will be lots of shifts. 
  • Tomorrow and Thursday are GREAT days to review expectations in your classroom. Don't forget to review your syllabus and grading as well!
  • ARGHHHHHH I just realized I failed to introduce Ryan Murphey who will be teaching our 6th grade Math classes until after Spring Break. Welcome Ryan!
  •  Are you a multilingual licensed teacher interested in developing your skills and advancing your career? OSU's TEAMS grant allows you to earn a Dual Language Specialization and ESOL Endorsement at no tuition cost. With a focus on multilingual candidates, this grant is perfect for dual-language bilingual education teachers who teach K-12 multilingual students and want to improve students' bilingualism, biliteracy, and biculturalism. You can even obtain the ESOL Endorsement and Dual Language Specialization simultaneously with tuition paid entirely with TEAMS funds.

The Dual Language Specialization is an Oregon-issued teaching certification recognizing dual-language bilingual educators' exceptional knowledge, skills, and dispositions in dual-language bilingual pedagogy and practice.

All course 9-21 credits are entirely online through highly ranked OSU Ecampus. These courses focus on the professional development needs of licensed educators teaching multilingual students. Our online model allows current teachers from across the state to fit the coursework into their professional lives.
