LaGuardia Arts Weekly Bulletin January 12 - 16, 2015 Dr. Mars, Principal College & Career Readiness Benchmark: Academic & Personal Behaviors ACADEMIC & PERSONAL BEHAVIORS This domain includes the learning habits and skills that support academic readiness and includes non-cognitive, socio-emotional qualities that support resiliency, and college/career persistence. Persistence Persistence is needed to support long-term commitment to educational goals through a positive mindset and self-efficacy. Engagement Engagement supports achievement in school by increasing students' social-emotional connection to the environment and their social confidence. Work Habits/ Organizational Skills Strong work habits and organizational skills support successful navigation of college and careers. Communication/ Collaboration Skills Communication and collaboration are essential skills in successful college and career transitions. Self-Regulation Self-regulation is key to resiliency. Students must develop coping skills, self-control, and confidence to work through challenges as well as metacognitive skills.

So as not New to interfere with studentsвЂ™ study time, teachers should be cognizant of homework assignments during these days. Students should continue to use the extended time arrangements that are in place with each teacher. Below are the days scheduled for Final Exams: Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday January 20 January 21 January 22 January 23 Social Studies Health Math English Science Studios LOTE Make-up (Last Day) This year, we have been focusing on College and Career Readiness Benchmarks. В These benchmarks define the qualities and achievements that students need to complete in order to be ready to enroll, persist, and succeed in college, postsecondary training opportunities, and gain entry into meaningful careers. To galvanize our collective efforts toward a shared goal, the DOE has identified four domains of student development that are essential to success after graduation: Common Core Learning Standards, Academic and Personal Behaviors, Academic Programming, and College and Career Access. Students need support to master each of these domains. La! has been providing communication in 3 of these domains вЂ” Common Core Learning 1 Standards, Academic Programming, and College and Career Access вЂ” we would like to introduce you to the 4th domain: В Academic and Personal Behaviors. В Academic & Personal Behaviors define a set of learning habits and skills that support academic readiness and includes non-cognitive, socio-emotional indicators that support resiliency and college/career persistence, specifically: work habits and organizational skills, collaboration and communication skills, persistence, self-regulation, and social engagement.

Chancellor Farina and Mayor De Blasio stated, вЂњThe reform announced today lifts the ban, and, if approved by the Panel for Educational Policy in February, will take effect in all schools on March 2.вЂќ Keep your kids safe. Get their seasonal flu vaccines every year. Seasonal Flu: A Guide for Parents Is seasonal flu more serious for kids? Infants and young children are at a greater risk for getting seriously ill from the flu. ThatвЂ™s why the New York State Department of Health recommends that all children 6 months and older get the seasonal flu vaccine. Flu vaccine may save your childвЂ™s life. Most people with seasonal flu are sick for about a week, and then they feel better. But, some people, especially young children, pregnant women, older people, and people with chronic health problems can get very sick. Some can even die. A flu vaccine is the best way to protect your child from seasonal flu. It is recommended for everyone 6 months and older. What is seasonal flu? The flu, or influenza, is an infection of the nose, throat, and lungs. The flu can spread from person to person.

What are signs of the flu? The flu comes on suddenly. Most people with the flu feel very tired and have a high fever, headache, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and sore muscles. Some people, especially children, may also have stomach problems and diarrhea. The cough can last two or more weeks. How does the flu spread? People who have the flu usually cough, sneeze, and have a runny nose. The droplets in a cough, sneeze or runny nose contain the flu virus. Other people can get the flu by breathing in these droplets or by getting them in their nose or mouth. Last year, teachers, parents, and students held detailed discussions with Dr. Mars, and a school-wide Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy was created in anticipation of the cell phone ban being lifted. (This policy is on page 39 of the Student Handbook.) We will review our BYOD policy when new regulations are passed to ensure that we are in compliance. The deadline for implementation is October 31, 2016. January Regents Examinations January Regents Exam Invitations were distributed to students this week. An additional way to check is that Pupil Path will show a Regents Exam schedule for Period 13. Not showing up to take your scheduled Regents exam will result in an ABS on your transcript. This mark cannot be removed. Please speak with your guidance counselor if you have a question or concern. Identifying Symptoms on Excuse Notes We ask that each parent be as specific as possible when listing the reason for the studentвЂ™s absence. Attendance and College Visits If you have visited colleges this semester, please fill out and submit the School Audition/ Visit Form at LaGuardiaHS.org. We will send home вЂњjeopardy to graduationвЂќ letters to the parent or guardian of any student with less than 90% attendance. (At this point, that would mean nine days or more of absence.)

Instructional Part 4 in a series of 9 Universal Design of Learning We are continuing to explore ways to address different learners and to reduce barriers to learning by talking about the UDL practice of Provide Options for Physical Action (part of Principle 2: Providing Multiple Means of Action and Expression). It is important to offer materials with which all learners can interact in an engaging way, like offering alternatives to marking answers with pen and pencil. How will this look in the classroom? Teachers can use clickers or Classroom Response Systems. Teachers can evaluate class comprehension or retention of complex material much more effective by engaging the whole class in an interactive learning experience that involve polling students using a student response clicker system. This instant feedback enables instructors to tailor lectures to their studentsвЂ™ needs by indicating whether to move forward or review material. It is used as follows: 1. The teacher poses a multiple-choice question 2. Each student submits an answer to the question using a handheld transmitter (a вЂњclickerвЂќ) that beams a radio-frequency signal to a receiver attached to the teacherвЂ™s computer. 3. Software on the teacherвЂ™s computer collects the studentsвЂ™ answers and produces a bar chart showing how many students chose each of the answer choices. 4. The teacher makes вЂњon the flyвЂќ instructional choices in response to the bar chart by, for example, leading students in a discussion of the merits of each answer choice or asking students to discuss the question in small groups. Mainly any kind of questions can be asked when working with clickers. The most popular are Recall Questions although they rarely generate discussion and donвЂ™t require higher-order thinking skills. Conceptual Understanding Questions can be used with clickers as well, if they involve answers based on common student misconceptions. Questions asking students to classify examples, match characteristics with concepts, select the best explanation for a concept, or translate among different ways of representing an idea can help the teacher identify and address studentsвЂ™ misconceptions. Application Questions: These questions require students to apply their knowledge and understanding to particular situations and contexts. Application questions often ask students to make a decision or choice in a given scenario, connect course content to вЂњrealworldвЂќ situations, implement procedures or techniques, or predict the outcome of experiments or even their peersвЂ™ response to a subsequent question. Critical Thinking Questions: These questions operate at the higher levels of BloomвЂ™s Taxonomy, requiring students to analyze relationships among multiple concepts or make evaluations based on particular criteria. Often these questions are вЂњonebest-answer questions,вЂќ questions that include multiple answer choices that have merit. Students are asked to select the one best answer from these choices. Onebest-answer questions arenвЂ™t appropriate for exams, but they can be very effective in preparing students to engage in class discussions about the reasons behind their choice. (read more at: http:// cft.vanderbilt.edu/guides-sub-pages/ clickers/) Our school has a great track in receiving technology through donorschoose.org. If you need help in writing a grant please see Ms. McGoey, in the science department or Ms. Van Keulen. http:// www.donorschoose.org/ Below is an example of using clickers in a math class (from Teaching Mathematics with Classroom Voting: With and Without Clickers, Kelly Cline and Holly Zullo, 2011). have been able to gain some valuable discussion when asking students why they may have voted for one of the other four solutions. Based on homework problems students may have done, they may become locked in to thinking that all trigonometric questions focus on the domain [0, в€Џ]. At the same time, a student that might have answered that there is only one angle that makes this equation true, may have their eyes opened to the fact that not everything is restricted to simply the first quadrant. This allows for some good discussion of thinking about the trigonometric situation strictly in terms of right triangles, or if students should expand their thinking into a unit circle convention. It is interesting to find that some students thinking about the unit circle convention might believe that if an answer is possible, it should be an even number of solutions, since cosine and sine are equal to one another at exactly two points on the unit circle. Thus it is important to facilitate conversation where students will come to a conclusion that the domain could be limited to simply half of a revolution around the unit circle. The question asks the students when two trigonometric functions are equal to one another. What the question does not provide is a specified domain. The specified domain plays an important role with trigonometric equations due to their periodic nature. This is done intentionally so we are able to gain a sense of how students are able to handle a situation which could present them with a different number of potential solutions, based on the modification of the domain. This is a clicker question where each answer gets a share of the studentsвЂ™ votes. It is important to point out to students that their answer cold be correct, based on how we define the domain of the problem. This reinforces the importance of communication to the student, and how defining a problem for someone to solve is important. Without the correct parameters of the problem, it is easy to answer a different question than the one posing the question may have intended. Clicker Question #3 For how many angles of x, does cos x = sin x a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4 e) Not enough information is provided Because no domain is specified, the best answer would probably be that there are an infinite number of angles for which these functions are equal. Of the answers provided, the best answer is e. However, the purpose of the question is to provoke thought and dialogue, and by using the question as structured we 5 Please Note Earlier Test Start Times Instructional January Regents Tutoring Subject Chemistry Topic Room Moles and stoichiometry 511 Date Mon., January 12 Chemistry Acids and bases 511 Tue., January 13 Chemistry Solutions 511 Wed., January 14 Chemistry Kinetics and Equilibrium 511 Thu., January 15 Chemistry Electrochem/redox 511 Wed., January 21 Chemistry Organic/nuclear chemistry 511 Thu., January 22 English Test taking and test preparation 659 Wed., January 14 Alg 2/Trig Focus on Multiple Choice questions 415 Tues, January 13 Alg 2/Trig Focus on June 2013 open ended questions 415 Thursday, January 15 January Regents Exams JANUARY 26 MONDAY JANUARY 27 TUESDAY JANUARY 28 WEDNESDAY JANUARY 29 THURSDAY Report: 8:15 AM Report: 8:15 AM Report: 8:15 AM Report: 8:15 AM Living Environment English Language Arts Common Core Global U.S. History Geometry Algebra 2/Trig Report: 12:15 PM Report: 12:15 PM Report: 12:15 PM Comprehensive English Algebra I - Common Core Physics Integrated Algebra Earth Science* Chemistry Uniform Admission Deadlines La! students will START their morning exams at 8:45.

В 7 Instructional Students focus on both content and skills as outlined by the Social Studies Practices and Common Core Learning Standards. By grappling with complex content, students can accomplish a higher level of literacy. Being literate in Social Studies means understanding the conventions by which documents within the Social Studies disciplines are written, including the integration of primary sources, images, maps, data, and artifacts. Social Studies helps students understand, respect and appreciate the commonalities and differences that give the U.S. character and identity. The complexities of history can only be fully understood within an appreciation and analysis of diversity, multiple perspectives, interconnectedness, interdependence, context and enduring themes. The shifts to Common Core in Social Studies include: Focus on Conceptual Understandings вЂў Increased emphasis on patterns, themes and concepts that cut across place and time. Decreased emphasis on rote memorization. Evidence-based Argumentation вЂў Students learn to utilize primary and secondary sources by placing them in context, gathering information and evidence in order to formulate a coherent argument. Dual Intensity вЂў Students focus on both content and skills as outlined by the Social Studies Practices and Common Core Learning Standards. A. Gathering, Interpreting, and Using Evidence 1.

Recognize that choice of specific periodizations favors or advantages one narrative, region, or group over another narrative, region, or group. 7. Relate patterns of continuity and change to larger historical processes and themes. 8. Describe, analyze, evaluate, and construct models of historical periodization that historians use to categorize events. C. Comparison and Contextualization 1. Identify similarities and differences between geographic regions across historical time periods, and relate differences in geography to different historical events and outcomes. 2. Identify, compare, and evaluate multiple perspectives on a given historical experience. 3. Identify and compare similarities and differences between historical developments over time and in different geographical and cultural contexts. 4. Describe, compare, and evaluate multiple historical developments (within societies; across and between societies; in various chronological and geographical contexts). 5. Recognize the relationship between geography, economics, and history as a context for events and movements and as a matrix of time and place. 6. Connect historical developments to specific circumstances of time and place and to broader regional, national, or global processes and draw connections to the present (where appropriate). D. Geographic Reasoning 1. Ask geographic questions about where places are located, why their locations are important, and how their locations are related to the locations of other places and people. 2. Identify, describe, and evaluate the relationships between people, places, regions, and environments by using geographic tools to place them in a spatial context. 3. Identify, analyze, and evaluate the relationship between the environment and human activities, how the physical environment is modified by human activities, and how human activities are also influenced by EarthвЂ™s physical features and processes. 4. Recognize and interpret (at different scales) the relationships between patterns and processes. 5. Recognize and analyze how place and region influence the social, cultural, and economic characteristics of civilizations. 6. Characterize and analyze changing connections between places and regions.
