Administrators from each campus meet periodically to discuss professional development and how that training meets district as well as individual campus goals. We ensure that state and federal guidelines are met and the needs of students on each campus are met. Ensuring that district staff is prepared to meet the needs of the students is very important in obtaining success.

Each 6 weeks we provide one day for our grade level science and math teachers to work together planning instruction based on the CSCOPE curriculum.The biggest part for us is furnishing subs, space, and resources for these teachers to meet and plan the best lessons for their students. This is a great way for our teachers to learn the requirements of the new curriculum and work together to find the best strategies for classroom instruction.

The district has a process to monitor the use of the curriculum, CSCOPE, with a series of walkthroughs from district and campus personnel. These walkthroughs only include math and science classrooms now since these are the only areas we are requiring to use the curriculum this year. We also regularly check (electrnically) to ensure other teachers are accessing the curriculum site. CSCOPE is supposed to be a good, complete curriculum and ensures vertical alignment. We are hoping that it will help us alleviate any gaps in instruction and strengthen our core curriculum.

We had an incident where a custodian slapped a student in front of other staff and students. The student was the nephew of the custodian's but the behavior was still inappropriate. The parents of the student did not wish for anything to happen, so we only had to deal with school policy. This was a tough one. Nothing like this had ever happened before. Working together, the campus administrative team along with the Assistant Superintendent and Superintendent, decided on a consequence for the custodian that we felt was fair but also showed that this behavior could not be tolersted.

We evaluate the effectiveness of implemented plans regularly, but in end of the year administrator meetings and site based meetings, we focus on data to ensure that goals are being met. If not we discuss why and plan changes to hopefully meet those goals. You always have to monitor your plans for achieving goals to ensure that those procedures are being implemented and goals are being met.

Working with other AP to address the issues of two new teachers who are not performing up to standard. One has been on campus all year, one came in at mid year. Student success is suffering because of inexperience of teachers. Also enlisting the help of teaching team. Some new teachers are great and need little help. Some come in with the wrong idea of what teaching is and are not prepared to adapt. The hard part is knowing if that person wil be able to change or should they choose another profession.

It was brought to my attention that part of the PEIMS reporting for truancy was my responsibility. I discovered that I was about three months behind. I worked with our attendance clerk and SRO to get caught up and in compliance. I discovered this while talking to another AP about changes in the dating procedure. This was a responsibility that was assumed I knew I had. Did not do this in previous district. Communication is key.
