Welcome Back

2010-07-28T20:13:00.000-04:00

Welcome back for another exciting year at East Columbus. Let's all work together to make this year the best ever! Remember as we receive our class rosters and meet our students, we may find that a student is more difficult to work with than others. When that time comes, remember to praise publicly and punish privately. Also work to create relationships and find a way to make a connection. See the attached article from the New Teacher Advocate, Fall 2008.

The purpose of this segment is to help connect what is known about students' cognitive development with what you want them to understand about science concepts and the nature of science. Use this brief description, combined with your knowledge of your students, to guide you in making instructional decisions appropriate for your grade level.
