SES teacher spotlights UFLI reading tool; small‑group instruction in use
Summary
Teacher Jenny Longfellow presented on the UFLI reading tool and confirmed small‑group instruction aligned by skill level; the board asked for follow‑up on outcomes for students who began kindergarten during COVID.
Jenny Longfellow, a Santiam Elementary School teacher, presented an Educational Spotlight on the UFLI reading tool and how it is used in small‑group instruction.
Longfellow told the board the program is organized by skill level and said, "yes they are done in small groups." Board members pressed for outcome data; Lynda Harrington asked specifically to see sixth‑ and seventh‑grade scores for the cohort that began kindergarten during the COVID pandemic. Longfellow and staff noted the full presentation and supporting data are posted online.
The presentation was framed as an instructional update rather than a decision point; the board did not take action beyond questions and requests for follow‑up information.
