II. Academic Committee

A.

9/16 Professional Development Day Outcomes

Ms. Charles and Ms. Wheeler shared highlights and session topics from the recent full day of professional development.  They also prepared staff for WIN time and high dosage tutoring groups.  They also shared the pre-assessment results of where the different grade levels are coming in at to start the year.

 

B.

Academic Turnaround Discussion

Committee members and leaders discussed what time they have available for instructional coaching and what areas they are able to focus on.  Many needs were discussed.  Through discussion, the committee encouraged the leaders to focus in on just one general strategy that could be shared with all teachers that could give some support across all grade levels.  As there isn't time to focus on everything at once, the idea was to prioritize one focus at this time.

C.
