Principal's Update - Ms. Prado

Next year, collaborative planning will be different. Grade level courses will plan together. This will help teachers to work together more efficiently to ensure student learning and success. Nonaccountability areas will be included in this process so that students will receive strategic instruction in all classes.

Next year, we will be working on school culture.

Incentives
Grade incentives are powerful and should be used more so than pizza parties, etc.

Classes will have leveled assignments to meet the needs of their students.

Professional development will be given to help teachers meet the needs of their students.

A teacher survey of the principal will be given to the staff so that the principal can reflect on the year.
anonymous and voluntary

Discipline has been under control. So now the focus will be on giving feedback on classroom instruction.

Continuous Improvement Process
Administrators met with the leadership team.
It was emailed and presented to the staff during a faculty meeting.
The School Improvement survey was done during the faculty meeting.
The principal shared her findings from the continuous Improvement Reflection Worksheet.

The 2016-2017 school improvement survey was done at faculty meeting with all teachers.
