Principals Report
- We reviewed two pages Mr. C handed out about I/E and the school’s vision
Enrichment Interviews
- Interviews revealed some patterns in teachers’ and aides’ thoughts on Enrichment block
- Need for common planning time, more thought given to how kids are assigned to groups/projects, and clear expectations
- Would be great to have some teachers/aides get together over the summer (paid) and prep things for the coming year so we can start off with things in place
- Extended planning/planning time before each cycle
- Work more with Roxanne; utilize aides interests/talents in projects
- Lots of positive remarks
- Next year (from Mr. C): School Support teachers will help with planning Enrichment; planning time will be in place during the school day (some LEAP, some Enrichment); Program Coordinator for Enrichment next year to help with prepping activities, etc.; ALT team will support efforts
- Next steps – figuring out in the big picture, can this work? What else do we need?; Also, want to survey the kids. Mr. C will speak to Roxanne about creating one
- Training aides – next year we have people who will be able to provide training
- Chris will have a proposal of what next year will look like ready by the 10th
