Revisiting our Brainstormed List of Next Year Options
How will we effectively plan for 2020-2021:
- By the July Board meeting, the AEC will share a plan for on-campus, virtual or blended instruction to ensure compliance with all health regulations. Through the use of a planning worksheet the AEC is developing guidance for:
- Operations
- Instruction
- Weekly Check ins and Due dates
Next Steps
- What needs to be prepared for next week?
Based on participant feedback, the Chair would like to propose an alternating schedule for addressing Planning Actions each week. The proposal is for Operations actions to be addressed bi-weekly and for Instructional actions to be addressed on the alternating weeks.
Closing out the year strong
Quote- So often you find that the students you're trying to inspire are the ones that end up inspiring you.
- What do the EOY iReady data tell us?
*Dr. Weems-Allen explained EOY iReady data analysis- In comparison to FCS our scholars are passing tasks at a higher rate which is an indication of closing achievement gaps at a faster rate and a higher number of students almost on grade level.
*Mr. Muhammad indicated that scholars will have access to iReady during the Summer
*Mr. Polk brought up a critical concern regarding student performance. It is important for scholars to do their own work within i-Ready. The virtual program is designed for individual student use.
*The AEC chair will schedule a video-conference with Mr. Polk to gather his thoughts and collaborate to propose solutions.
- What is the teacher feedback regarding effectiveness of curricular materials purchase in the Fall of 2019?
*Dr. Weems-Allen reviewed teacher feedback regarding curricular materials purchased in the Fall of 2019. Analysis from survey data indicates a need for Professional Development (PD) to ensure effective implementation and alignment to our TRi-Focus.
*Mr. M. and the Instructional Leadership Team (ILT) will develop a plan for PD including potential cost for Summer workshops.
- How are we using parent and teacher feedback to guide planning for Summer 2020 and the 2020-2021SY?
*Instructional Leadership Team (ILT) members are sending out a survey to consider parent concerns regarding on-campus, virtual, and blended instruction. In conjunction with Fulton County Schools, CHCS is developing written guidance for operations and instruction for all instructional scenarios.
- How dd the 8th grade celebration caravan go?
*The ILT caravan visited each 8th graders home! It was uplifting and encouraging for each team member
