(all data), Not personal (safe to share), Consensus
-“the Perfect Storm”,
all new administrators that weren’t a part of the previous conversations. RST teams got together to discuss the process
to move forward. Where are we? Why are these individuals, group of students
failing?

Review Data

Seek resources to meet

Shane: Sees the Action
Team going away, but new working teams come together with members of the
original Action Team as the leaders of these problem solving teams.
Brad: Are there places
we cannot go with the interventions that the District Office and school board
not agree with?
Shane: I am meeting
with members of our community council and our Superintendent to discuss our
process and any preconceived notions about “off limits” areas.
Brad: we need to be
able to trust our administrators because in the past we haven’t been able to
trust who we are answering to at the district level who have their own notions
at what will or won’t work here.
Shane: Paul and Curtis
will present to the group the “gap data” that has been collected so far. This group is a PLC and that is why will follow
the norms the group has set. We are here
to do what is best for our kids. How do
we support those that are doing exceptionally well and how to lift up those
that are struggling? We need to build
upon a shared knowledge base. Next week
I will have a shared reading for us to look over and discuss student level
data. On November 7th, we
will be reporting to departments-the process and data. Please get feedback and bring it back to this
group. What is available out there as we
decide what needs are students have?
Interventions-we don’t have much time to look at what’s available and
what we want to do. We will be doing
lots of work on our own to be prepared to share and discuss at next
meeting. We need to do an analysis of
what our resources are. The 19th
we need to discuss the schedule and then head into Thanksgiving and get some
work done. The 28th we will
report to RSTs. We can work as
departments if needed. Then let’s visit
to see what everyone else has to share.
We need to be aware of unintended consequences and look at everyone’s
opinion and acknowledge what a concern is for another department. November 30th the admin team will
come to a consensus and make a decision.
The community council, student senate, departments, and then present to
the board will be the process to get the thumbs up. If for some reason we need more time, we will
use the January board work meeting as well.
How many teachers do we
want to have be included in this team?
How do we want to move forward with the team?
Mike: How do we make
sure adequate representation is made for the teachers, students, and
faculty? I don’t know how we move
forward..
Shane: We will share
our minutes with the community, teachers, students, and parents to be able to
see what we are doing here. No student
information will be able to be shared.
Jim: Would like a
Google doc that is on the website available to everyone.
Shane: the students are
working on a suggestion box and we could post our minutes in the office where
people can comment or ask questions on our process. Jill’s responsive school team is responsible
for communication and could possibly post it to a blog.
Brad: That’s a lot of
places to collect information from.
Shane: True, let’s just
have a Google doc that is public and can go out and display our minutes.
Curtis: We can set it
so comments are not on display and people can type their comments or questions
without everyone else seeing what has been said.
Brad: Can we have the
RSTs communicate?
Shane: Please ask your
teammates on your RST for feedback and information (shared knowledge
base). How do you see that working Brad?
Brad: I am thinking
about how it would work.
Curtis: How do we let students and parents know?
Shane: We will send a mailer home with their
grades, with the Google doc. Our
community council president recommended that two of the runner ups for
community council will serve on the team and help us to get the word of mouth
out. The people who serve on the
committee will serve and create the climate for the council. We have the chance to tell the story of
what’s true here at LHS, not something that will hurt our high standards.
Jim: we look at our
academic achievement and we have to be realistic and be ready for what the data
shows on our 24% that don’t graduate.
Shane: How do we decide
who participates?
Paul: How about how
many meetings are missed?
Jason/Brad: We will
miss days for school related business.
Jim: Let’s keep the
group as small as possible.
Shane: Gordon
represents South Campus and the Math department.
Jim: let’s have one rep
from each department, which we naturally have here. The CTE can make the decision to have one rep
come. What makes sense on establishing a
team?
Shane: here are the
teachers who are interested: Jolene, Lacy and Mary are the only ones that
aren’t here.
Brad: I’m the Maverik
of the CTE dept. I have three
departments that I can represent. I will
have sport conflicts with some dates. I
would be happy to step down.
Shane: This is who we
have interested so far:
Admin: Shane, Jim, Jill
Counseling: Donna
English: Curtis, Paul
SS: Jason
CTE: Jolene
Science: Drew
FL/FA: Mike
PE: Brad/Stacee
Math: Gordon
Spec. Ed: Mary Morgan
Parents: 2
Students: 2
Drew: Please send out
reminders for meetings
Shane: We will have teachers in each department that
is represented more than once decide who will represent during these Action
Team meetings.
