Adult & Community Education
Tuesday in the Know - October 10, 2017
Greatest Gains in Listening and Reading Scores
Congratulations!
Well done!
Message from the Leadership Team
As we approach the end of Fall session 1, sites will start post testing students as was scheduled through the Adult Ed calendar. We understand that Irma has interrupted our instructional program however this is also our opportunity to capture students before we lose them to employment opportunities due to season. Please expect site coordinators and support staff to visit your classrooms to speak with your students in reference to the importance of testing to assess your students growth as well as program performance. They will also be sharing with students that may not be ready to test either because of lack of instructional hours or because they may not feel ready. If there is a student that stands out please let your coordinator know. Coordinators and support staff will be working with each students to come up with a post test plan. If you know of a student that will be leaving due to work encourage them to speak with the site coordinator.
Kudos
- Hunter Sayers & Logan Tarr for their flexibility in covering all the testing needs this first week.
- Scott Schnappauf & Jonah Nicosia who took time to meet with our students and assess their needs after Hurricane Irma. If you know of a student who is still in need please refer them to your site coordinator.
