Saturday Presentations

I thought our group had an interesting variety of presentations. Randy’s presentation really made me think about the impact of zeros on a student’s grade and attitude. I am not sure where I stand on the policy of giving a 50% in place of a zero, but I agree with the sentiment that a zero is disproportionate on the grading scale. Jeremy had an interesting perspective on the value of coaches and the importance of meaningful evaluation of coaches. As some of the people our students admire and respect the most in our schools, leaders have the responsibility to select quality coaches and assure that they are held to the same high standards we set for classroom teachers. These are some things I had not thought about before.
