Updates re: Implementation of curriculum, programs, materials, local PD related to Curriculum and Planning. - We are currently in gearing up for our last round of testing for both ILEARN and NWEA. Schools are using very strategic approaches to identify areas within the curriculum that need to be revisited or moved up to ensure scholars are being given what they need. - School teams have come together to begin identifying a new math curriculum that will best support the needs of our scholars in NWI.

Updates re: Implementation of Assessment and or/ Data-Driven Instruction, programs, materials, local PD related to Assessment and/or Data-Driven Instruction. (Continued) - As DDI PLC’s (Professional Learning Communities) continue, leaders are pushing their teams to collaborate. Across campuses, leaders are collaborating to share best practices with data analysis & intervention. The focus continues to be grade level mastery in the Primary, Upper, and EC buildings through the use of exit ticket data from Indiana standards-based lessons. Additionally, in Semester 2, we are looking at how we strategically use the data differentiated and remediate effectively. o Focus has been heavily placed supporting scholars around deficiencies. Leaders have been meeting with teachers around their efforts through looking at the actual data but also work that lead to the data. The focus this round had been targeted toward shifting teacher practices not simply what kids aren’t doing. We have also been working to ensure the “right people” are in the room when these meetings happened to maximize our effort in providing teachers and students with the needed supports.

Updates re: Social-emotional development, management of students, engagement with the arts, arts infusion, programs, and practices, restorative practice updates - The LCPA team continues to work to define the best SEL program to support our high school scholars. We have been made contact with an organization that is beginning the work to help this team create a sustainable vision around culture and action steps to begin that work. This team will also be working with our K-8 buildings to continue this work with these campuses as well. We are super excited about bringing in all stakeholders during this process strategically to ensure buy in and optimal success.

Updates re: Teacher and leader development. - Routine round of coaching and feedback sessions are still occurring. Schools are still pulling the lever on collaboration with the support of our Director of Professional Development, Susie Choi. We are really working to develop our teachers in a way to make it “stick.” - Formal end-year evaluations are beginning for both teachers and leaders. - Teacher/Leader development continues to be a lever to as we strive to provide Authentic Experiences to increase building capacity. Teachers and leaders continuing are visiting other buildings and classrooms to calibrate, collaborate and continuously improve their instructional practices.
