OUR VISION IS TO BE A HEALTHY AND LITERATE COMMUNITY!
A Reminder to Us to Use Our Voices!
Geoffrey Canada - Some Good Points!
Restructuring Team
1. Problem solving regarding students not making progress in reading. We focused on 1st and 2nd graders who have had limited movement. Ideas include additional Tier 3 support.
2. PBIS data - we have 3 to 4 students who make up the majority of our referrals. A couple fo students have decreased in referrals as a result of interventions and a circle of support which includes the school and home.
3. State testing discussion included some next steps for test prep for CAASPP and ELPAC.
4. Next agenda includes:
Look at results of changes in intervention
Discussion of ELPAC
Plan a visit to Altimira and Bel Aire in Napa
Bridges Demo and Planning Days

Bridges Demo Lessons
Bridges and Sub Days
Every K-1 teacher may take 1 full release day to administer the 1:1 interview portion of the Number Corner Check Up. Since there are 4 Number Corner assessments, this is a total of 4 full days. 1 per Number Corner assessment. They may choose to take them to administer the assessments or not. It is up to them. A few teachers are having a trusted and capable sub be the one to administer the 1:1 interview portion of the Number Corner assessment so they don't have to be out of the classroom. This doesn't appear to be the majority, but if they choose to do so, I think it's okay. Other teachers really want the 1:1 assessment time with their students to better grasp student understanding. Every TK teacher may take a total of 3 days since they have 3 assessments (beginning, mid year, and end of year assessment).
2. Every TK-3 teacher has 3 prep or curriculum planning days per the negotiated TA at the end of last year. The idea is for them to take 1 planning day per trimester. This is for them to do whatever prep they wish to do. It is not admin driven. Ideally, they should take one per trimester. These days will not carry over. So use them or lose them so to speak. (Andrew, please weigh in and correct me if I am mistaken).
3. We will allocate some time (exact amount of time still being finalized) for teachers to enter their assessment results for Number Corner Check Up 2 during the PD Day on February 14th. Teachers must submit their results by 2/14/20.
