GE Friends,
NOW is the time to enroll in one of the Great Expectations 2012 Summer Institutes! There are many locations throughout Oklahoma, Texas and Michigan. ENROLL TODAY!
Dr. Sharon Wilbur, K20 Center at OU, has completed a "crosswalk" with Great Expectations and the three teacher evaluation models - Marzano, Danielson and the Tulsa model. This crosswalk is posted on the GE website under Latest News. If a teacher is fully implementing the GE 17 Classroom Practices, he/she will SHINE on any one of the three evaluation models. GE Summer Institute training is excellent preparation for evaluation by any of the new evaluation instruments.
GE Model School celebrations are still happening across Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas. Below are pictures from just a few of these joyous occasions.

Kim Pitner, GE Mentor, is the author of this month's book review. Comprehension Connections, by Tanny McGregor, is an excellent book to guide instructional strategies to a much higher level. Click on Linda's List to find out more.
We wish each of you a successful ending to the 2011 - 2012 school year and a joyous summer filled with fun, relaxation and professional growth provided by Great Expectations!
Linda Dzialo, Ph.D.
Great Expectations, CEO

"In the 2010-2011 school year, OKCPS implemented GE at 28 of our elementary schools. The results were amazing! We have increased language and math scores and have had a significant reduction in long term suspensions. This year, we are implementing GE at 27 more elementary schools.
I believe that the careful implementation of Great Expectations will have a significant impact on OKCPS, and I recommend that other schools districts consider such a positive and pro-active reform."
