Nicolet Staff have reengaged with the PLC Process (Professional Learning Communities) this year. Through this process, staff develop a shared understanding of assessments, implement common formative and summative assessments, analyze evidence of student learning, and use that evidence to learn from one another and respond to the individual needs of students!
Each month, we are highlighting a team of teachers that has engaged and embraced this process and worked to analyze student learning on a consistent basis. This month, we have highlighted our World Literature Honors team, made up of Ms. Idstein and Ms. Mueller! The team has earned our Nicolet Yeti mug with the inscription "All Means All" on the back. Congratulations, World Lit Honors Team! Keep up the great work 👏
Wishing the Nicolet community a happy and festive Thanksgiving break 🦃
