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

"THE REASON WE CONFRONT STUDENTS IS BECAUSE WE CARE."

Something to think about....


1. What does it mean to "confront in a professional way"?
2. What are the differences between confronting and accusing?
3. What emotions are likely to come to the forefront when a person is approached in an accusatory manner?
4. Think of questions that are likely to produce defensive reactions. Reframe those questions so that they would likely produce constructive responses.
5. How can you be sure students realize that you confront them because you care?
