I hope that everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving and is enjoying this holiday season. It has been a busy month in the Department of Student Services. District wide special education and guidance departments gathered together for professional development during the Early Release on November 9. It was great to see everyone learning and growing together in our mission to support all students.
Coordinated Program Review Last month, I presented to School Committee on the results of the Coordinated Program Review. This presentation has been added to the resources tab on the blog. Please let me know if you have any questions. Internally, a great deal of work has begun on the corrective action piece of the review. Each finding will be addressed with a specific set of actions. Two of the more comprehensive findings involve a curriculum review and an institutional self-evaluation. A committee of various stakeholders was assembled and met on Monday, December 3 to begin work on this endeavor. More information will be available as the work on this committee progresses. Conversations I am beginning to code themes from all of the conversations that I have had since entering the district. If you have not had a chance to talk with me and would like to, please let me know. I plan to finalize a report in January. While I continue to welcome conversations after the break, the information will not be used for this report. Basic Rights SEPAC will be holding its Basic Rights Presentation on December 18, 2018 at Blake Library. The Federation for Children with Special Needs will be delivering the information and it is expected to be two hours. Take Care, Mary Comments are closed.
