Board praises student cooks and hears teacher-facing assessment pilot
Summary
Board members thanked Forks High School culinary teacher Shelley Castellano and her students for providing dinner, and a Forbes Middle School presenter described a teacher-facing assessment that segments students into green/yellow/red bands to target interventions.
Board members publicly thanked Forks High School culinary arts teacher Shelley Castellano and her students for preparing dinner for the meeting. Board members expressed appreciation for the students and teacher involvement.
A Forbes Middle School presenter then described the results of a quick classroom assessment: students were grouped into green, yellow and red bands by skill; interventions include small groups and partner games for lower bands, online interactive tutorials for absent students, and enrichment for students demonstrating mastery. The presenter emphasized the tool is for teacher use only and that individual student scores would not be posted publicly.
Why it matters: The recognition highlights school-staff and student engagement in district events; the assessment pilot is a teacher-facing data tool intended to support targeted instruction.
Next steps: Presenters will provide staff materials and suggested classroom uses; board members applauded the initiative and requested follow-up information as needed.
