Skyline Schools presents dyslexia program video; teachers report CTE conference takeaways
Summary
Principals and teachers showed a Fundamental Learning Center video about the district’s dyslexia program and shared practices learned at a summer CTE conference; administrators flagged professional development and strategic-plan topics for the coming school year.
At the Aug. 12 regular meeting of the Board of Education of U.S.D. 438, Diane House and Michelle Schmidt presented a video produced by the Fundamental Learning Center and described the district’s Dyslexia program at Skyline Schools.
House and Schmidt outlined program activities and instructional supports shown in the video for trustees, describing how the program has been used during the prior spring and what staff training accompanied the work. Teachers Anita DeWeese and Jennifer Wahrman also reported on sessions they attended at a summer Career and Technical Education (CTE) conference and summarized materials and practices they believe could benefit Skyline classrooms.
Superintendent Becca Flowers and building principals also briefed the board on back-to-school professional development and noted the organizational chart and Strategic Plan were reviewed during staff orientation. No formal action was taken on the dyslexia program presentation or the CTE report; they were provided as informational items.
Administrators said the district will continue professional development and integrate selected CTE approaches where practical. The minutes do not list specific student outcomes or program budget details in connection with the presentations; trustees received the materials and video for informational purposes.
