September 24  Late Start 
Standard 3: Instructional Delivery


The district has identified three priority standards, which we will be digging into in the upcoming Late Start/Professional Learning days. This Thursday is our first Late Start, and we'll be looking at Standard 3. 

The HSD Vision for Thursday is:
  1. Hudson educators know, understand and practice at the effective and distinguished levels in each of the Stronge Educator Standards.
  2. More importantly, Hudson educators have a strong sense of efficacy about their profession, leading to increased student learning.
Below are some things to look at to get your thinking started... Instructional Delivery is something you do each and every day - how can we fine tune it to make sure it includes high impact strategies that meet the needs of our students?


Here is the presentation for Thursday from 8-10:30.
Bring a device and your log in for My Learning Plan

Looking forward to our learning together on Thursday!
