SES teacher spotlights UFLI reading program; board asks for grade-level data
Summary
SES teacher Jenny Longfellow presented on the UFLI reading tool and confirmed small‑group instruction and skill‑level grouping; the board requested 6th‑ and 7th‑grade score data for students who were in kindergarten during COVID.
Jenny Longfellow, an SES teacher, presented the educational spotlight on the UFLI reading program and described how reading groups are organized by skill level in small groups. Longfellow said that "if there are six in a group they are all on target" and confirmed groupings are done by skill level.
Board Member Lynda Harrington asked specifically for 6th‑ and 7th‑grade score data because those students were in kindergarten during the COVID pandemic; Longfellow acknowledged the interest and the board asked that relevant data be made available (the full presentation is available online). Longfellow also thanked the board for their service.
The presentation was recorded as available online; board members asked follow-up questions about group sizes and outcomes but no formal action was taken.
