A04 All teachers will participate in weekly common planning time during the regular school day with clear expectations for collaborative instructional planning. The vertical planning process is off to a wonderful start for SY20. During this week’s session, HS teachers began the practice of collectively examining data in order to refine curriculum, instructional, and assessment practices. These reflective practices are essential in setting and sustaining a learner-focused educational environment. The work of collaborative data teams is to examine student data in a manner to improve their craft. The supports set in place by TCS’s instructional leaders coupled with consistent monitoring/feedback will ensure increased student achievement through transformed practice. Response: Thank you. We believe that the consistent monitoring and quality feedback makes a difference in the continued success of our faculty and student body.
As a reminder, all SIG indicators are to be reviewed/reassessed by September 30th. Please ensure indicator progress and short-term actions (tasks) reflect the status of the current work. Be sure to operationally define success for each indicator as a means to guide/monitor progress. Response: We will get together to review the data collected by the LT in order to update the indicators.

Establishment and maintenance of high expectations needs to be monitored through focus walks. Teacher websites & Blog, school data, student work samples, assignments from teachers, and JGG/FBLA provide evidence of high expectations. Each teacher will create a safe and supportive learning environment for every child. The teachers will also develop and maintain high expectations for all students based on data collected from benchmarking and test scores. Teachers exemplify high expectations in accordance with non-negotiables, monitored through TKES. School Mission, Vision, and Theme are communicated daily in visual and auditory format.

Departmental Updates (School Data, Initiatives, Testing, Scheduling, etc.) Elementary- Unit 1 in Illustrative Math is done, moving into unit 2. Everybody is on track and working hard. Middle- Collaborative meetings with the development of an action plan focused on 6th grade that also supports the other grades. This will guide our work, support student behavior, and help us continue to move forward. Changes have been made in some classes that are making noticeable differences. Getting to know our learners has made a change in effective teaching. Class Dojo is helping. Group counseling with take place during connections soon to assist middle school students. Some students are really making a great effort to support other students. Could celebrate these students to help encourage their behavior—maybe on the morning announcements. High- Noticing that benchmarks may not be taken seriously. Students are struggling to read for information & not using close-reading strategies. Working through LB and moving along. HS team is developing “this we believe” statements and strategic teaching. Looking at lesson plans and coaching in those areas. SPED- None Other-

ILT- Starting Oct 17, academic portion will begin. Based on student responses and screener data, we have our students selected for the program. Could add ESOL support during this time. Will need to contact our ESOL person to be able to provide the appropriate supports for our students. Some accommodations are similar to what we are already doing for some students, but we will need clarification and guidance. Some external providers cannot support our parents and students due to regulations and paperwork. We can provide resources to families and do everything we can to provide support. Need to add new students to this list since they were not here for the questionnaire Looked at student enrollment numbers, course offerings, and budgeting for about an hour. Letters will be sent home next Monday—or this Friday—for parents. Hope to have them back within a week to get everything rolling. Will send daily email/text about getting the letters back.
