Alternate Assessment Training
Autism Scholarship Students
Specialized Classrooms
I met with the elementary MD teachers and together we assigned students to specialized classrooms for the 2016-17 SY. We tentatively developed the class lists. Please refer to the email Sarah Mahoney sent out. I've asked the teachers to begin to develop a transition plan for any student who will be transitioning to a new building, who will require extra planning. I'm expecting a timeline of events, outlining their plan for the student. Please have these conversations with the JR. High and Freshman buildings.
It is time to begin planning for the opening of a JR. High SCC. We have 4 students transitioning to 7th grade. Sarah Mahoney, if you would begin to have conversation with Kelly Johnson, teacher of the 4 students, regarding the following:
- curriculum-what students are currently using
- furniture
- technology
- classroom materials
I'd like to begin to plan for this classroom soon.
March 15th Professional Development
Sarah T. will be working on the Phonics First PD for the March PD.
- As you're out in the buildings, please check with the staff member who attended the training. I'd like to know the times they are using this intervention. I'd like to stop in and watch this intervention.
Chris, please work with Sarah to secure a location for our 3 final days.
Chris will also be coordinating a CPI refresher in March.
