As teachers we are part of a learning community shifting to higher standards and expectations demanded by school boards, state and national standards. Our school communities include administrators, supervisors, fellow teachers, and parents. Our Title I services understand these connections and make every attempt to communicate our programs and student achievement. We also provide dynamic parental involvement and professional development activities.
This article, aimed at classroom teachers (experienced and new), discusses needed changes in instructional mindsets we have to cultivate. Although our Title I services is a targeted assistance model, there is much to learn. Supervisors and principals will benefit also from these ideas. Our schools need to be on the same page so that others will notice we are in a 21st Century school.
