Every school in the district has received at least one day of on-site support this marking period, with additional coaching days being assigned. A key feature of this support is the introduction of one-on-one coaching for teachers through the platform Coachly, complementing the efforts of school academic coaches and district literacy specialists. This strategic approach is part of a broader restructuring aimed at prioritizing literacy support.
The meeting also emphasized the importance of ongoing professional development, particularly through the \"train the trainer\" model. Credentialed LETRS facilitators will continue to provide essential training and support for new teachers, ensuring that instructional practices evolve to meet the diverse needs of students, including those with disabilities and English language learners.
The district's ESL department has undergone restructuring to enhance layered support and professional development, ensuring that all students have access to the resources they need to succeed. The return of students to their zone schools has been noted as a positive step, providing them with easier access to wrap-around support services.
As the meeting transitioned to discussions on student discipline, officials reiterated the alignment of these efforts with the district's strategic priorities, focusing on holistic child development and high-quality support services. The emphasis on student growth and achievement remains a central theme as the district continues to evaluate and refine its programs to ensure all students are reading at grade level and receiving the support they need to thrive.
