Given current context of uncertainty amid the COVID pandemic, the HOS Goal setting for the 2020-2010 school year is proving to be a bit difficult.  Possible suggestions and ideas for goals were discussed with the HOS and this committee.  Focus of goals should be on fluidity, flexibility in either environment, be it distance learning or in the school building in order to give the best possible teaching and learning experience.  Parent partnership is important to stress and the value of that needs to be continually expressed. Communication is key with parents. Consistency among the grade level teams is important for what assignments are, where they are, where the links are, etc.  The HOS professional development will continue (Leadership Through Crisis), but will not be a goal.  The HOS will continue participation in the Charter School leadership cohort. The student learning goal will be more interesting without the MCAS data to use.  One possible idea may be a goal around Assessment for Exhibition.  Another may be to consider the asessment of and remediation from spring "losses" in terms of student learning. Offering Teacher training on online learning and Diversity are both priorities for heading into the fall, as well as offering a Parent Academy in the fall on how to help your child learn best in these challenging times. 

Peter Cohen reported that the new Student Support Coordinator is on board and has been invaluable already.

Policy Review has been tabled for a future meeting.

Goals for this committee:
1) Increase membership
2) Support the HOS in Goal setting (keeping them manageable, attainable, multi-year/multi-part)
3) Update Policies
4) Board Training on HOS Evaluation Process (including fall and spring)
 

Next meeting: Tues., July 7, 2020
Future meetings will tentatively move to the second Tuesday of each month.
