“If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.” -Confucius
A new year, within the same school year, brings OPPORTUNITY to us all. With most schools having almost 5 months to make a difference in the life of a child, what will you do with that time? 100 days = 100 opportunities to inspire and educate your students! Use this precious time to try something new, listen a little closer or read a little longer. Your students deserve the best YOU and after a break to renew and refresh, come back to school ready to give them all you’ve got!
The Golden Triangle Curriculum Cooperative will start fresh this New Year as well; with new opportunities and chances to support our members as often as we can! We are working on a new Google “listserv” to share learning opportunities, materials, curriculum revision dates, and important updates to all of our members. If you would like to be added to this email list, please email Alyssa at: alyssac@gtccmt.org.
We have created a collaborative document, to update others on textbook and resource review and purchases. This document shows what subject areas are currently being looked at, across the Golden Triangle, to purchase new textbooks/resources; as well as what was purchased and feedback on it. Go to our website: https://www.gtccmt.org/ and click the 3 bars on the top right, then “Member School Materials Review & Purchases” or click this link directly: Member School Materials Review & Purchases. Please access this document as often as needed for materials needs and add your schools’ progress to support other member schools.
Happy and Prosperous New Year - refresh & renew yourselves; ready to give your students the best that you can!
