Berrien Springs Public Schools

I was recently hired for my first resource room teaching position in Berrien Springs Public Schools. Go Shamrocks!! BSPS partakes in district-wide learning goals to ensure that students practice and master the critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity skills essential to success and productivity in our 21st century global community. 

As we constantly assess our students, it is so important that we are evaluating these skills. Our goal is for our students to be able to ask themselves these questions so they can self monitor and become independent in these areas.

Here is a short overview of these indicators of success:
    1. Critical Thinker- How do I think, reason and solve problems? 
    2. Communicator- How do I understand and communicate ideas?
    3. Collaborator- How do I work with others?
    4. Creator- How do I demonstrate what I know, think or feel?
If our students are able to use these indicators of success, they will feel proud about their work and continue to reflect and make adjustments =)
