//** Congratulations! **// Arely Baez and Shelby Gray competed in the Education Leadership Fundamentals Test at the Texas Association of Future Educators Teach Tomorrow Summit held in San Antonio on February 17 - 19. They heard speakers at general sessions, learned more about leadership in breakout sessions, and voted for next year's TAFE officers.

= //**Monday**// = Finish the assignment below. (Begun last Friday)

Who are your administrators? Who is in command? How do you figure out who does what? Take a tour of some of the BISD school websites and see if you can figure out who is in charge.

What do administrator's make? Is there a difference between an elementary principal's salary and a middle school principal's salary? If so, why? What does a superintendent make? In table pairs, research the school district you have been assigned to find the salaries of their top adminstrators. Why is there such a difference among districts?

 Read //**Education Secretary Arne Duncan Says Merit Pay Should Be Tied to Student Growth**//. Jot key points on a notecard as you read. You will use these to debate the pros and cons of the Education Secretary's proposal. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?



Notebook Update: Organize your notebook and turn in for the 4th six week grading period. Score yourself on the rubric provided.



= //Tuesday and Wednesday// = How do you become a principal? What type of degree or certification do you have to have?

Complete the table below by investigating 3 colleges of your choice. Follow along with the example you are guided to use by selecting the link below.

Now it's your turn. Select two more institutions of higher education. They may be bricks and mortar universities or you may select programs that are from online entities.

Complete your research and turn in your completed form.

= //**Thursday**// = Test your knowledge on what you have learned about administrators in education and training this six weeks. What have you learned about yourself through your portfolio building exercises.

This exam will only be open when class starts. It is time stamped so your first attempt is the one that counts.

Last day to turn in class notebooks: Organize your notebook and turn in for the 4th six week grading period. Score yourself on the rubric provided.

=//**Friday**// = Can you believe that it is March 1st! The school year is 2/3 complete. There are only 3 months of school left!

Today is the final day of the six-week grading period. Check your grade in Skyward. Be sure you check that all grades are complete, you have no missing assignments, and that there are not any discrepancies.

It Was a Very Good Thing! For the past four years, Birdville Center of Technology and Advanced Learning has participated in a paper recycling program to help reduce the amount of paper dumped into our local landfills. Unfortunately, the disposal bins used to discard the paper have been moved from their previous location to another site in No. Richland Hills. The plastic bins that are located in each classroom are on loan from the City. This means we will need to return them.

Today, let's celebrate our successful collection efforts. But first, we need to collect and empty all of the containers throughout the building. Thank you for a great job done throughout the year. Be sure to mark your participation on the dot chart. (TAFE and FCCLA members, this counts as service toward earning a letter jacket.)
