Flipped Staff Meeting

Staff Meeting 4-9-19

CLASS DISTRIBUTION

3 Different Grade Levels that Are Projected to be Right at Caps

Which Grade Level(s) Get(s) the Extra Teacher?

How do we Support Grade Levels with High Classroom Numbers? 

(This Drives Schedule Decisions too)

Factors that Influenced the Decision

• Behavior, Social and Academic Needs of the 2019-20 Second Graders
• Personnel Preference and Talents
• 3rd Grade--First Year of Accountability
• 2019-20 First Graders - "good group" 

DRAFT OF 2019-20
MASTER SCHEDULE

Priorities

K-2 1 1/2 Hour Block of Uninterrupted Time for Reading in Primary -- 2 hours Literacy Instruction Altogether

1 1/2 Hours of Math Instruction 

Scheduling Math and Reading Blocks so that Sped Teachers will be able to co-teach in 2 grade levels for 2 different content areas

Providing extra adult support for Third grade and First grade

Providing times dedicated to RTI

Next Step: CLASS LISTS

Self-Reflection/Professional Growth and Development Planning

Complete Your Self-Reflection/PD Plan Here
1)  6-12 hours of curriculum -- Week of July 29 - August 2nd  

• All Classroom Teachers must sign up for 6 hours of Curriculum PD
• AND Classroom Teachers MAY get as many as 12 hours of Curriculum PD
• BUT...
• Next Year....we will be tracking common assessment data AND exit slips will be required for EVERY learning target...SOOOOO you may REALLY want to have that additional day so that you can work on assessments and exit slips.  
• 4th and 5th Grade Teachers or Teachers of 2 Subjects -- Talk to me if you want more than 12 hours to work on curriculum.  This can be decided on a case-by-case basis

Math is our school priority - so if you teach both reading and math, YOU MUST CHOOSE at least 6 hours of MATH curriculum work.  

2) 6 hours of collaboration training (July 18th)

• Required for all Sped teachers (who collaborate), but a GREAT idea for Math and Reading Classroom teachers

3)  3-6 Hours of GC Tech Training (July 25th)

4)  3-6 Hours PLE Tech Training (TBD)

5)  Mental Trauma Strategies Training (August 7th) This training will build on the one we had.  It will get into the "how-to" and the implementation of strategies for helping children with Mental Trauma in the classroom.

6)  3 Hours of Striving Readers Writing Training (August 5th) - Mandatory for ALL (Except for Special Area Teachers and MSD Teacher) 

7)  Other?  Book Studies?  Guided Math?  Guided Reading?  You tell me!! :)

ADVANCE-ED ACCREDITATION (Formerly Known as SACS)

• April 24th - Schedule - We will need 5-6 staff members to be interviewed from 7:30-8:15
• Classroom Observations and Interviews - Observation Tool (Eleot) 8:15-9:30
• Last Accreditation was in 2014 - Progress since 2014

They are looking for student engagement that allows students to have the opportunity to talk to each other and they are looking for examples of students writing to learn across the curriculum

Be sure to know our Mission - to prepare all students to become productive members of a changing society.
