Talladega City Schools Pre-K Program

Hal Henderson is home of the Talladega City Schools Pre-K Program. Mrs. Angela Capers, a "highly qualified" teacher with exceptional talents, developed the program during the 2008-2009 academic year. Mrs. Karen Graves, a "highly qualified" paraprofessional, works collaboratively with the 2010-2011 teacher, Mrs. Patricia Cook, to continously move the program forward. Mrs. Cook was previously our State Department of Education Technical Assistant who evaluated our program. We have 18 students enrolled in Pre-K. I am also pleased to announce that our site has been recognized by the State Department of Education as "exemplary."

"THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK"

"High performance classrooms are not dominated by competition, but by collaboration, competence, and cooperation."

Something to think about!

1. "Competition and learning have an uneasy relationship."

2. How pervasive is cheating in your classroom? Do you see evidence that competition is a part of this problem?

3. What actions do you take to motivate students to support each other?

4. Identify some of the opportunities you provide students to practice working collaboratively with others.

5. How do you maintain a healthy balance between collaboration and competition?


PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE ONLY 18 INSTRUCTIONAL DAYS BEFORE ARMT TESTS. PLEASE USE CALCULATORS, GRIDDED SHEETS, AND OPEN-ENDED BOXES AS PRACTICE WITHIN YOUR MATH CLASSROOMS. INSTRUCTIONAL TIME IS VALUABLE - WE CAN AND WILL BE NEAR THE TOP!!!!
