Principals report focus on teacher growth and behavior management; elementary names "Kindness" month
Summary
Elementary and middle school principals reported on parent-teacher conferences, classroom visits and teacher evaluations. The elementary school named "Kindness" the word of the month while the middle school expanded PBIS initiatives to maintain consistent behavior expectations.
Elementary Principal Amy Dahlberg and Middle School Principal Tricia Van Marter told the board they are engaged in classroom visits and teacher evaluations and are emphasizing professional growth through open discussion of goals and development areas. Dahlberg said that fostering a culture where teachers can openly discuss goals "has created a positive foundation of trust."
Dahlberg said the Elementary School is focusing on behavior management and identified "Kindness" as the word of the month; Van Marter said the Middle School has extended PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) initiatives to encourage consistent expectations. The minutes reflect these are continuing, non-action items included in principals' reports rather than items requiring immediate board action.
