Dear  CFHS  Parents/Guardians;  

 

This  month  we  celebrate  student  academic  successes,  faculty  accolades,  athletic,  and  student  activities  achievements.      

 

First  of  all,  I’d  like  to  congratulate  our  National  Merit  Scholarship  Finalists:  

The  National  Merit  Scholarship  Program  has  now  determined  which  of  the  16,000  Semifinalists  named  in  September  2015  have  met  all   requirements  to  advance  to  Finalist  standing  in  the  competition.  All  Finalists  will  be  considered  for  National  Merit  Scholarships  to  be   offered  in  2016.  The  selection  of  some  7,400  Merit  Scholarship  winners  from  the  group  of  more  than  15,000  Finalists  is  now  in  progress.  

In  March,  NMSC  will  begin  mailing  scholarship  offers  to  winners.  We  are  very  proud  of  our  NMSC  finalists!  Finalists  in  the  2016  

Competition  for  National  Merit  Scholarships:  Sumhith  V.  Aradhyula,  Vincent  H.  Bai,  Liam  K.  Donovan,  Amber  Marina  Fox,  Chloe  T.  

Harwood,  Neil  C.  Jha,  Amy  Liu,  Lucas  A.  Petersen.  

 

Secondly,  kudos  to  Social  Studies  Teacher  and  Department  Chair,   Ms.  Megan  Kirts ,  who  was  named  to  the  Educational  Advisory  

Group  (EAG)  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  of  San  Francisco!  The  EAG  consists  of  22  high  school  and  community  college  educators.  

The  EAG  Fellows  work  with  the  Economic  Education  Group  for  a  period  of  one  year,  providing  feedback  on  content  area,  teaching   activities,  FRBSF  economic  education  resources,  the  use  of  technology,  and  best  practices  related  to  teaching  about  the  Federal  

Reserve  and  the  U.S.  economy.  Ms.  Kirts  has  also  been  chosen  to  participate  in  the  Transatlantic  Outreach  Program  (TOP).  TOP   seeks  to  find  the  best  and  most  qualified  social  studies  and  STEM  educators  and  give  them  the  opportunity  to  experience  Modern  

Germany  in  person.    Ms.  Kirts  will  spend  two  weeks  in  Germany  this  summer  experiencing  contemporary  German  issues  relating  to   the  political  system,  economy,  culture,  education,  and  environmental  sustainability.  Congratulations  Ms.  Kirts!  

 

On  an  athletic  note,  I’d  like  to  congratulate  the  Boys  Basketball  team  that  made  it  to  the  quarterfinals  of  the  state  tournament!  They   made  a  deep  run  but  lost  to  Agua  Fria  by  3  points  in  a  buzzer-­‐beater.  It  was  a  great  game  and  a  wonderful  season  full  of  excitement!  

 

Congratulations  to  following  athletes  that  were  selected  to  the  Arizona  All  Section  Teams.  These  student-­‐athletes  were  voted  to   these  teams  by  head  coaches  in  the  AIA  statewide  Coach’s  Poll.

CFHS Strategic Plan Update

Strategic Plan Update:

What are Data Teams?

March 2016

What is a Data Team?

Your child may have heard their teachers talk about “Data Teams,” or you may have read, in the Falcon Flyer , or in our CFHS

Strategic Plan, about Data Teams. Our plan relies heavily on the teamwork of teachers within these teams: our teachers meet for a combined 1150 hours over the school year to do Data Team work together. This is a significant endeavor. But you may not know what a

Data Team is, how it is structured, or how it works. We thought we’d take some time to explain this structure in which we have invested so much time and energy.

A data team is a small, grade-level, department, course-alike, or organizational team that examines student work, and collaborates together to improve student learning. As John Hattie puts it in his book, Visible Learning for Teachers , “the most critical success factor in any school” is a shared understanding among teachers. He attributes this to “the power of teachers learning from and talking to each other about planning – learning intentions, success criteria, what is valuable learning, progression, what it means to be “good at” a subject” (60).

Our Data Teams enable our teachers to do just this.

How are Data Teams structured?

At CFHS, almost all of our Data Teams are organized by course, so that teachers who teach the same course can collaborate together to address the most worthy goals for their students - those crucial areas of skills and knowledge that students need to develop to succeed in the aims of the course itself. This year, because of the nature of our strategic plan, we have also created teams of freshman teachers, in order to focus on the issues that our freshman students encounter here at the high school.

All Data Teams have a focus that is shaped by the strategic plan’s goals.

English Data Teams are focusing on Literacy Goals; Social Studies and Science teams focus on Transfer Goals; World Languages, Kinetic Wellness, Fine Arts,

Special Education, and Freshman Data Teams are working on building Academic

Mindset Goals; and the Math Data Teams are work together on Numeracy Goals.

What do teachers do together as Data Teams?

These teams meet at least 14 times over the course of the school year. We follow a structure pioneered by Richard DuFour, in which “a small team meets a minimum of every two or three weeks and uses an explicit, data-driven structure to disaggregate data, analyze student performance, set incremental goals, engage in dialogue around explicit and deliberate instruction, and create a plan to monitor student learning and teacher instruction” (Hattie 60). This is also known as the Data Team process.

If you were to attend a Data Team meeting, you might see: teachers poring over student assessments, identifying specific strengths and weaknesses, or moves that student authors have made that are worthy of repeating and holding up as examples; teachers brainstorming different ways to teach a difficult concept which their students have struggle to grasp; teachers designing an intervention for a small group of students who still haven’t mastered a core skill, even as the rest of the class moves on; teachers analyzing data - just how many of their students improved from assessment to assessment? -- or teachers crafting extensions for the few students who quickly display proficiency.

Ideally, all of this work leads to a shared understanding: about our subject areas, about excellence in student work, about pedagogy, about our goals, and most importantly, about our students.

CFHS Counseling

Course Selection for 2016-17

Students continuing at CFHS for 2016-17 school year are requesting their classes for next year. Students received a Course Selection Info Sheet, a Course Request Form, and a copy of their transcript in their February 29

Advisory. Teachers reviewed curriculum options and assisted students in their choices through March 6, and counselors were available in the cafeteria during lunches throughout the week to answer questions. Students were asked to enter their course requests through VUE before 11:59 pm on Sunday, March 6, and counselors are meeting with students March 7-11 during designated math classes to review their online course selection and compare it to the teacher and parent signed Course Request Form. Students and parents may review the course selection materials on the CFHS website. Posted materials include the 2016-17 Course Guide, the Course

Request Form, the Course Selection Info Sheet (includes instructions for entering requests in VUE), and an informational podcast.

Scholarship Resources:

There are several specialized databases available for students to search for scholarships. Students can create a profile and review scholarships posted at fastweb.com, scholarships.com, salliemae.com, and many others. Mrs.

Graves also posts a number of scholarships on the Naviance scholarship page as well as on the bulletin board outside the Counseling Office. Colleges and Universities often have scholarship databases for students to search as well. The University of Arizona, for instance, has a database called Scholarship Universe linked to their

Financial Aid website.

While most scholarships are merit-based (academics, athletics, fine arts, etc.), a number of scholarships are essay

(or art, other) contests for which anybody may apply. These scholarships are often lower in value (e.g., $1000) but they can add up if a student is ambitious enough to research and apply for these scholarships.

While scholarships only make up 3% of college funding overall, some students earn more than that through their doggedness and their willingness to write that 500 word essay on freedom with a prize of $1000, submit a picture of themselves with a “milk mustache,” etc. One has to be willing to do the research, however, as well as the work

 

  of completing the applications, essays, etc.

Hello,  CFHS  Families!  

We  were  so  happy  that  we  were  able  to  bring  two   amazing  outside  intervention  programs  to  students  and   parents  at  CFHS  during  the  month  of  February.    Our   freshman  and  sophomore  students  were  given  a   presentation  from  Breakdown  Tucson  about  current   issues  that  they  face  day  to  day.    Our  parents  were  able   to  attend  a  presentation  from  Not  My  Kid  about   substance  abuse.    Thank  you  to  everyone  who  donates  to   the  FFO;  because  of  your  donations,  we  are  able  to  bring  

  these  types  of  programs  to  CFHS.  

More  planning  for  next  year  –  We   NEED  YOU  to  become   involved  with  the  FFO!    We  have  many  different   committees  and  jobs.    We  have  positions  on  our  Exec  

Board  to  fill.    This  is  a   GREAT   way  to  get  involved  with   the  school  and  become  a  part  of  our  Falcon  Family  that   we  are  so  proud  of!!!  Want  to  help  teachers,  and  do  a   variety  of  things  around  the  school?    Volunteer  for  the  

PVC  (Parent  Volunteer  Center).    Are  you  interested  in   helping  with  college  visits,  and  working  with  the   counseling  office?    Volunteer  for  the  CCC  (College  Career  

 

Center).    Do  you  like  editing,  page  design,  and  working   with  databases?    Volunteer  for  the  District  Directory   committee.    If  you  have  questions,  please  contact  me  at   dlhad@aol.com

 if  you  are  interested  or  have  questions.  

We  are  also  busy  starting  to  plan  for  the  Fall  Fling/Glow  

Run!!  We  are  so  excited  to  continue  this  tradition  that  we  

  started  last  year.      

Our  next  General  FFO  meeting  will  be  held  on  Tuesday,  

March  15th,  at  9:00  AM.  Our  hot  topic  for  this  meeting   will  be  Grading  Policies.  We  will  also  have  a  report  from   our  Principal,  Dr.  Angela  Chomokos,  and  some  social
