Teachers on Summary Year: SLO & PPG meetings
SUMMARY YEAR TEACHERS ONLY
If you have your pre- or post-observation meetings with me this week, please plan for 10-15 extra minutes to discuss your mid-year SLO. If you don't please schedule 15 minutes with me by Feb. 19th.
Agenda:
- Discuss your pre- or post-observation form.
- Revisit your SLO goal and reflect on the progress of your targeted population identified. Are you on track to meet or exceed your SLO goal? Does your goal need to be revised? What strategies/instructional practices are working toward your goal? Any new/tweaked strategies need to be incorporated to meet your SLO goal? PLEASE BRING YOUR MID-YEAR DATA to the meeting (i.e. F & P scores, MAP growth, etc…)
Tentative scheduling requests
- Chunks of uninterrupted instructional time: minimal you would like to live with and your ideal
- Placement of PIE time in your schedule
- Alternate times for recess and lunch
- Any other ideas you might have
I can't promise any these requests, but if gives me ideas of what you'd prefer to see.

Testing dates needed for Forward Exam
Derick Kiger is asking for the dates Ixonia plans to administer the Forward Exam. Teachers will be proctoring this exam. Because we have so many students who need accommodations, 3rd and 4th grade students should tests in two separate weeks.
- Forward Testing Window: March 28-May 20
- Spring MAP testing begins May 9
Clink on the two links below for more information. I'm happy to help with the scheduling as well.
