For the remaining weeks of the 2016-2017 school year we will be fighting the Pygmalion Effect, aka the "self fulfilling prophecy." Research in the late 1960's showed a direct correlation between how teacher expectations influence student performance both positively and negatively. When we as teachers have high expectations for our students they perform at a higher level, conversely, negative or low expectations have students performing exactly how we imagine them.
If you want a classroom that is a true learning environment you must first start with the belief that the students that make up your classroom can do the work. If you feel that your students can learn through hard work, engagement and opportunities for meaningful learning, then your classroom has the right climate to increase student achievement.
It is very easy to say that we believe in our students, it is more important to have your actions match your words. Your actions, as simple as a smile in some cases, have to match what you are saying, after all, those actions speak much louder than your words ever will. We continue to talk about allowing our students to have more choice in their learning only to have ourselves refuse to take risks because the students aren't "capable" of behaving appropriately or doing the work. This simple action has to change in order to match our words and more importantly change our student achievement outcomes.
Sometimes the best way to change our beliefs is to change how we are teaching our students. We have so many wonderful things to be thankful for here at Hayes Elementary. I look forward to seeing the creativity and various opportunities to learn throughout the building. Let's have a great week.

Once the student has successfully logged on, they will then select either STAR Early Literacy (K-1), STAR Reading (2-6) or STAR Math (2-6). After selecting an assessment, the student will need to select the class labeled reading. The student will then proceed with the pre-test. Once the student has completed the pre-test, a box will pop-up asking for a monitor password to advance to the real assessment portion. Please note that the student will select the class labeled reading for both STAR Math and STAR Reading after they select the designated assessment from their dashboard.
