• Improvements for K-2

Interventions/Enrichment section for narrative 

Note:  Examples of comments for this section include

Interventions

"Eric is receiving small group instruction in phonics and decoding skills.  Please continue to work with him at home to practice his sight words and read his

take-home books."

Enrichment

"I am working with Axel to write complete sentences describing his environment. Please work with him to verbally say or write sentences about items at home and his community."

This section is focused on what the teacher is doing to intervene and enrich each child.  Please refrain from generic comments and specify that you know that child.

Spanish Comments should be in this section if the report card is in Spanish.

On a related paperwork note, it is that time of year to do the PDP Mid Year Review on all certified teachers, I just want to remind you of a couple of things.  Both the teacher and administrator have editing privileges to complete section C: Evidence of Progress toward specific standards.  Andy and I would like for each of you to have reflected on your goals and know what we need to type into this section  You may want to enter the data into that section before we meet.  Only the teacher may type comments into section D: Narrative prior to the administrator signing. Once Andy or Jeff signs the form it is locked from editing.  Our intent is to meet with each teacher in the weeks of January 30-February 9th, and complete the mid term review together.

Subs:

no sub for Maria Cook
Jennifer fisher for Earline
We are waiting on Almudena to return from Spain.  If she is not here today, Andy will do his best to arrange an alternate special.  Snaps to Mrs. Grisette for dealing with it so professionally on Monday.
