The committee was impressed with the Provost's presentation and appreciated her time explaining how faculty are trained and supported in the areas of classroom management and professional development. The committee would like to request a summary of the bi-annual teacher evaluations, and compare those to previous years, in order to celebrate faculty growth as well as identify further areas of support. As the school has matured since its opening, the committee recognizes that teachers feel more equipped to handle the unique challenges that our school community may bring, and we look forward to seeing this illustrated in the data.

Sam was able to attend the Family Workshop series and summarized her experience with four of the sessions, which consisted of presentations by both faculty and community partners. The committee is excited that opportunities like this exist to advertise our school culture to the greater community.

If agreed upon and approved by the board, the committee will develop a criteria for an award system that celebrates teachers, teacher's assistants, and support staff for their impactful role in scholars' experiences at BA.
