District Committees met on April 16th.
The Elementary DLC discussed:
At the Secondary DLC meeting this month, the committee focused on addressing concerns from teachers about aligning texts. The committee understands the need to choose books to purchase from Pearson. We are working this month on finalizing those choices in order to make a purchase next month. We are also getting to work on a gap analysis for the curriculum notebooks to assess what work needs to be completed over the summer.
The District Math Committee met and discussed the structure of the committee. Members were in favor of continuing the mini-PDs on effective instructional strategies for next school year. The PD for this meeting focused on building procedural fluency from conceptual understanding.
The following are some take-away thoughts from the professional development:
The Committee continued their discussion of Standards Based Grading. They worked together to determine definitions, quantity of standards, differences between Elementary and Secondary and how to maintain consistency for all while handling differences as well. They discussed the difference between ‘Standards Based’ and ‘Standards Reference’ and started discussing implementation plans. Next time the committee meets they will work on defining components of Standards Baselong-term and on long term planning and implementation of Standards Based Grading within the district.
