Discuss Academic Updates
Aisha Ford, Senior Director of Teaching and Learning, discussed academic updates with the committee. She overviewed the current focus areas for academics such as professional development, data, and coaching.
The committee and staff watched an instructional video from an LCPS employee as a spotlight on UFLI instruction to continuously improve phonics. Together staff and committee members articulated what was observed in the video, background of what the lesson sequence is, and how LCPS coaches around these aspects.
Aisha then reviewed goals and updates related to mClass DIBELS data and SBAC IAB latest results.
The board asked how teachers are involved with DIBELS and progress monitoring data. Shaina Hurley, Lead Principal at Lighthouse TK-5, responded with the focus on the UFLI curriculum and it's weekly grouping practices to understand how students are improving.
