Superintendent’s District Literacy Advisory Council
From Dr. Cynthia Lane
Principals,
To further our goals of “Literacy as a Civil Right” for all of our students in??KCKPS, this year we embark on the 5th year of the Superintendent’s District??Literacy Advisory Council. This year, we plan to begin by using the??information obtained from the AIR Literacy Audit and data collected from the results of the 3-year Literacy Plan to advance our work in literacy instruction and intervention.
As you know, each school has had a representative on this council in the past. I am now writing to ask you to represent your school as well as choose a staff member to represent your school with you.
We will reconvene the KCK District Literacy Advisory Council on Tuesday, November 15, 2016, from 4:30 – 6:00 pm.
Meeting dates for this year are designated below:
Tuesday, January 17, 2017, 4:30 – 6:00 pm
Tuesday, March 7, 2017, 4:30 – 6:00 pm
Tuesday, May 2, 2017, 4:30 – 6:00 pm
Please let me know who will be representing your school with you this year. I look forward to seeing all of you at our first meeting on Tuesday, November 15 from 4:30 – 6:00 pm at Central Office.
Thank you for your commitment to this important work.

Co-Teaching
From Jennifer Martin
We were fortunate to have Dr. Richard Villa in our district for training with teachers and administrators during the 15-16 school year. Since that time, we have further strengthened the resources that are available in the district to address co-teaching as an effective instructional strategy.
If you would like building-level professional development, we have a team of co-teaching coaches available. Please contact Danita Long (Danita.long@kckps.org) to schedule initial training or get details about how the team can further support co-teaching in your building.
