TLE Spotlight 

 Staff members at  Edison Academics in Bradenton
realize the power of connecting the Personal Learning Plan to their Mission Statement. 

In the Social, Emotional and Behavioral section of the PLP, teachers begin with the three D's: Desire, Discipline and Determination.
Strengths are highlighted and areas for improvement are connected directly to one of the three D's.  All students will have at least one PLP meeting with parents and the students. Some students will have more PLP meetings to hold accountable what was agreed upon during the meeting.  
Congratulations to  Sister Regina Ozuzu at Bishop Larkin Catholic School in Port Richey who won a gift card by clicking on the drawing link in last month's newsletter. 


Thanks to all who have responded. Monthly drawings will begin again after the 2016 Summer Institutes.
