ORCA annual report presented; teachers share math-conference takeaways
Summary
Ms. Galvin of ORCA presented the organization's annual report to the board; district staff who attended the Regional Math Conference in Tacoma emphasized making math instruction flexible and relatable to students.
Ms. Galvin presented ORCA's annual report to the Santiam Canyon School Board and thanked trustees for welcoming ORCA; the board was told the report is available online.
Angela Moreno and Angie Moreno reported on the Regional Math Conference (Oct. 10–11) in Tacoma, saying the biggest takeaway was the importance of flexibility in instruction and making math relatable to students. "The biggest take away that both staff had was to make math relatable to the students so that students would understand why these concepts are important and how they relate to their everyday lives," the Morenos reported.
The board also received routine building reports: Mrs. Hansen presented the SES report and Mr. Lazar presented the SJHHS report; those reports are available online. No board action was taken on the presentations at the Nov. 12 meeting.
