The Easton Area School District will ask the board at next week’s voting meeting to approve several retroactive and upcoming field trips and a Title I‑funded professional development contract to support Easton Area Middle School.
Dr. Draper (speaker 4) told the board that students in grades 10–12 visited Northampton Community College on Nov. 3 and attended Moravian University’s open house on Nov. 8; students in grades 9–12 visited ABE Airport career programs the day before the meeting. Upcoming trips include a Nov. 17 DeSales University college open house for grades 9–12 and a Nov. 19 grade‑3 trip from March Elementary to a Bach to School concert at Easton Area Middle School.
"Corwin will be providing on‑site coaching and training," Dr. Draper said, describing four full days of on‑site coaching, five 90‑minute virtual sessions and a Teacher Clarity playbook purchase to support the school’s improvement plan funded through Title I school improvement dollars.
Dr. Draper said the Easton Area Middle School is designated as a comprehensive support and improvement school; the professional learning focus includes literacy comprehension strategies for ELA/history, mathematics, and classroom learning practices. These items will be presented for approval at the voting meeting.
Next steps: the board will vote on the field‑trip approvals and the CORWIN contract at its scheduled voting meeting next Tuesday.
