  • Emily and I met with PAT reps on Friday morning. A question was brought up in regards to informal observations and note taking. We are not in the note taking phase yet. We will share the form we will be using to capture notes when we have it completed and will share said notes with you. This week we were looking to see if standards, learning targets,  essential questions, and the schedules were posted. This was shared out in last Sunday's Weekly Forecast. We will continue to visit classrooms this week and again, will share out our notes once we have that up and running. In another vein, please remember we have a few instructional coaches on staff, as well as our Climate Specialists. They are PAT members and do not evaluate. They will be making an effort to get into rooms as well to provide feedback and support.
  • Survey for middle school teachers for map testing 
Middle School Teachers - Please fill out this survey re: MAP Growth Testing
  • Theresa will be starting a New(ish) teachers group for teachers new to PPS or New(ish) to the profession. Each session will be after school and paid. These are completely optional and you can attend as you are interested based on the agenda sent prior to the meeting. If you are interested in getting the agendas for this group email Theresa, tturner@pps.net, and let her know. 
  • From Kenneth- Hello everyone!, Update! I got held up by a last minute request to be part of an interview panel for our VILS STS teammate. This took 2 hours out of my day that I wasn't planning on. I know there are a few students in 3-5th classrooms that are having problems with some CTL chromebook and that kindergarten carts need to be redistributed. This will be completed on Monday. Pinky-swears! This is my priority after distribution. Thank you all and have a great weekend!
  • Shannon and a parent volunteer will be working to fill supply orders early this week. Thank you for your patience around this.
