Accreditation Mid-term Visitation: Over the past few weeks I have been sharing our 3 Year Revisit Progress Report in preparing for our upcoming mid term accreditation for the week of April 23rd. Attached below is the final progress report submitted that reflect our accomplishments. Also attached is a copy of our Academic plan that describes our continued focus from which we are to be assessed. In communicating with Chair Dr. Jim Schlosser, visitation members will be looking/asking for evidence targeting data utilized and standards-based pedagogy. Department Heads and other lead personnel have been asked to review document with their staff.
Disaggregate data to ensure that all students benefit from school-wide initiatives.
Implement standards based learning in all courses and classrooms.
Continue to examine current research based instructional strategies for implementation across the curriculum to ensure active learning.
Study the effectiveness of the current bell schedule as it relates to meeting students needs.
Develop a system to assess all programs, reform initiatives and professional development that is data driven and research based techniques.
Report and celebrate academic progress and successes to parents and the community.
3rd Quarter Reflections: Reminder to submit your 3rd quarter reflections electronically no later than Thursday, April 5th. Will compile into a single report to help support WASC accreditation's 2nd point addressing standards-based learning. Along this line in looking at student learning data, will again work with counselors and Doris in identifying targeted students. With Literacy across all content areas per Common Core soon to be in effect....your feedback addressing literacy activities being taught will go a long way in providing that comprehensive picture. Thank you for your support in our school-wide data efforts.
