Want to help a struggling student succeed?  
Check out this student survey that you can use to reflect with a student?  
It will guide students to give you the feedback that will help you make a greater impact
on your students.




MOY PLP (Middle of the Year Professional Learning Plan)

This summer you all completed the Summer PLP to guide your learning this past summer.  
You took your learning and created your T-TESS Beginning of Year Goal.  
You met with your principal and decided what level on the Hierarchy of Instructional
Excellence that you wanted to work on this semester.


Now, to guide your learning for the spring semester, you will need to complete the
1718 Winter BRISD PLP.  This is a one page worksheet with supporting documents that
align the Hierarchy to the T-TESS dimensions.  


To get started:
  1. Click on the link.
  2. Click File → Make a Copy
  3. Rename the file:  Last Name, First Name Winter BRISD PLP
  4. Read the directions and complete the information to make your spring semester goal.
  5. Send to your principal prior to your mid year conference.
If you have any questions about the process, please contact your principal.
