The EOY is just around the corner! 🎉 📢 K12 Special Education Teachers || Administrators || Instructional Assistants || Specialists With all the hard work poured into this school year, let’s be sure to end well: ✔ Measure outcomes, and ✔Celebrate your students! Wrapping up the 2023-2024 school year with strong data will leave you with a clear picture of the progress your students have made and a great sense of pride in all their accomplishments. And, while success looks differently for all of us, all students deserve to be recognized for their effort. Celebrating student successes, both big and small, can significantly boost classroom morale and a student’s sense of belonging at school. Plus it just feels good! There are a lot of ways to celebrate successes based on the different personalities and interests of the students in your class. Think beyond traditional recognition like honor roll ceremonies and consider all the ways to shout out your students’ efforts: Personalized shout-outs, notes home, and individualized certificates – like this one, which is 1 of 6 available for **free download** in our recent TeachTown blog about measuring outcomes and celebrating student success in the first comment.

I was the other day in a discussion about a government’s willingness to evaluate public school teachers and headmasters, leading to a natural resistance of public school personnel. This struggle has been on for quite some time, and it’s evident that an agreement doesn’t look probable. See, there are these moments when one should accept that their initiative is going to flop, that spending more resources on it is useless, so they must rethink it from a different angle and come up with a fresh, improved solution. So, in that case a better proposal could aim to assess public schools based on their students' performance in national examinations, providing an indirect and objective evaluation method. Specifically, each school could be evaluated based on the total average scores of all its students in Annual National Examinations. This would enable a ranking of schools based on the overall performance index. Furthermore, the scores would be collected for each subject, and a composite performance index for each school would be calculated. This methodology could lead to an objective evaluation based on academic performance and would encourage schools to enhance their educational processes. Presumably the headmasters will have a natural interest (or what about incentives?) to act appropriately to improve their teams’ performance. Finally the Ministry of Education could then delve into the specifics, that is to implement action plans for each case, aiming to improve the educational process in public schools.
