District committees met on October 15, 2018. Each committee provided the following summaries. If you would like further information about committee meetings please reach out to your school committee representatives.
Eugene Paulson gave us an overview of PowerSchool and Standards Grading. He helped us to understand that we can build a system that records and tracks almost anything we’d like it to do. It will convert grading systems from numbers to letters or whatever we decide will be the format. We then broke into smaller groups to discuss Mastery and start to build a common definition that will allow us to apply that definition across grades and subjects and classes – something parents and students and teachers will understand and know is the same across the whole district.
The Elementary Math Committee reviewed the feedback they received from a survey last month to identify current practices and needs moving forward. The scope and sequence developed over the past few years is mostly embedded in teacher teams, but there are still some areas where alignment and use are lacking. Based on the feedback from the needs assessment, the focus of the Elementary Math Committee this year will be identifying and utilizing Tier 2 resources in math instruction.
Then Secondary Math Committee met and designed a 9-10 question survey that can be given to all secondary math teachers to assess concerns, needs, and interests for future consideration by the committee. The questions use a Likert scale format with the topics of pedagogy, management, assessment, teaching resources, and collaboration. The committee members will facilitate their respective departments taking this needs assessment by November 4 so the results can be compiled and shared with committee members in preparation for the next meeting on November 19.

This month, the Secondary Literacy Meeting met to discuss the new state testing platforms for ELA: Rise, Aspire, and ACT. Each school representative will share what we know with the teachers at his or her school. We also discussed what teachers would like to learn about in our January ELA PD. The list includes: preparing students for new testing platforms, vertical alignment 6th-9th grades, using My Perspectives curriculum, assessments, and tools, improving reading skills, and sharing teaching resources.
