ESL Announcements

From Kristen Scott
n our ESL department professional learning on October 9th we went over MAP data. Your ESL staff will be creating a plan for your building and they will then present it to you. We ask that you help them refine the plan based on your building priorities. The deadline for submitting the plan will be mid second quarter; and a template will be provided to the ESL staff.

We also clarified that aides and translators are not to be translating instructional materials; this is not our program. If you have specific questions about this please email Kristen Scott.

Elementary GVC Feedback Survey for Instructional Window 1

From Suzie Legg
TThe Curriculum Department is seeking your feedback around our current Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum (GVC), specifically the Unit Learning Goals and Performance Tasks. This feedback will be requested at the conclusion of each instructional window and will be used to inform the future design of these elements within the GVC.

This survey will take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Specific feedback versus general will be most helpful. Thank you for your thoughtful feedback.

You can access the feedback form via this link – https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/1516iw1

The form will be open through Friday, October 23rd.
