…will pay more for it. The winery will then sell the excess off as another label or to another company to bottle it under their label (as TJ’s does). You may say that you actually LIKE the cheaper wine (if you’ve ever been to a blind wine tasting – you know how that usually goes), but from a marketing and branding perspective – if there are a few TJ’s selling a $50 label for $15 – it diminishes not only the demand, but makes you question why we ar…

…place. The Feedback After the event – the feedback from both students and teachers was overwhelmingly positive. Teachers felt that they had a chance to share the key pieces of their classes with prospective students, the students got a better idea of their courses they are interested in and as we are now into the scheduling process – I am seeing a large decrease in inappropriate loads and course requests (i.e. I got a D in chem but I am going to…

…inds! I wanted to invite you to visit my newly established (as of posting) Teachers Pay Teachers store. I started the store because I had asked (in the School Counselor Store FB group) for some more neutral, less cartoony types of goodies. I love to support school counselors when I am able, but not many of the items I can find relate to my personality, my gender or HS work setting very way. I did get quite a few links for good items but decided to…

I am pretty happy with the turn out. 3. Letters of Recommendation: I included the standard three letters in all of the packets so they could reference them if needed or see further evidence that supports my candidacy. 4. My Notepad: I always bring my schnazzy note pad to tak…

…tial support for teacher training and resources including compensation for teachers attending a summer institute (which is required to be able to teach an AP course). These programs happen outside compensated months for most staff and schools actually have to PAY to participate. These should be provided free of cost and teachers should be reimbursed by College Board for their attendance and time. Reduced fees for students to decrease the financial…

…year. It was less than $5/student and they gave us some extra licenses for teachers. One license covers all AP subjects, so you only need to pay for a student once no matter how many tests/courses they are taking. I suggest you check it out and see if it is a good fit for your school. Screenshot of Learnerator.com minutes.io I just came across this site a few days ago and I like it. Serving with CASC’s board, we have a lot of online meetings. If y…

…ones championing the cause. Enlist the support of your administration and teachers before you set out on your quest. For the “1 to 2” to work – it needs to have the whole school support it. One way that I got that support was integrating the program with the school-wide goals each year.

…me of our students. When we discuss a student of concern, we look up which teachers reported connections with them and also if the student reported connections with any adults on campus. We ask those adults to have an extra keen eye out for the student and make an effort to approach them. Our teachers have had great success with this and over 85% of students reported having at least one adult with a high care relationship on campus. Another way we…

Students are able to be engaged with their learning and use what they know about their subject in a virtual world.
