Report Cards-<\/strong><\/span> Don’t forget that report cards MUST be completed by 11:59 on Sunday. We will send K-3 report cards home on Wednesday. 4th and 5th grade report cards will go home on Tuesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n

SLGG’s and Eval.’s-\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span>Now that we are getting our feet on the ground and we have teachers in all the classrooms (kind of a necessity at an elementary school), we can start addressing some of our other requirements, namely, SLGG’s and Eval.’s. There are some different requirements this year that I will try to summarize below:<\/p>\n

Certified teachers<\/b> will focus on Domain 1 <\/b>(Planning and Preparation), Standard 3.13<\/b> (Clarity), Standard 4.16<\/b> (Criteria and Recognition), Domain 5<\/b> (Family and Community Outreach), and\u00a0 Standard 6.24<\/b> (Professionalism).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

School Psychologists<\/b> will focus on Domain 2<\/b> (Consultation and Collaboration) and Domain 3<\/b> (Assessment and Data Based Decision Making).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Counselors<\/b> will focus on Domain 2<\/b> (Delivery of Services) &\u00a0 Domain 4<\/b> (Family and Community Outreach).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speech and Language Pathologists<\/b> will focus on Domain 3<\/b> (Delivery of Services) and Domain 4<\/b> (Management).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Special Education Teachers<\/b> will focus on Domain 1<\/b> (Planning & Preparation for Learning) and Domain 5<\/b> (Family and Community Outreach).<\/p>\n

Observations:<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Probationary\/Temporary Teachers:\u00a0<\/span> Required to have two formals completed by March 15th and one mini.\u00a0 The mini can be instructional or non-classroom observation. Administrator choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Contract Teachers on Evaluation Cycle:<\/span>\u00a0 Required to have three minis total.\u00a0 Two instructional minis.\u00a0 One can be an instructional or non-classroom observation.\u00a0 Administrator choice.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Contract Teachers not on Evaluation Cycle:<\/span>\u00a0 Two mini observations.\u00a0 One instructional. One can be an instructional or a non-classroom observation.\u00a0 Administrator choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The state is still requiring everyone to complete SLGG’s. You may complete the SLGG form<\/a> and submit to me. Feel free to work as a grade level or team to complete SLGG’s. They can look the same. Please get those completed and to me by February 19.<\/p>\n

Any mini or formal observations previously completed by Kevin or me will count. Please let me know if you have any questions about slgg’s, observations or evaluations.<\/p>\n

Next Friday-<\/strong><\/span> Please see Lora’s email about next Friday. In short, all instruction will be distance learning or CDL next Friday. Lora’s email gives more explanation.<\/p>\n

Hours- <\/strong><\/span> It’s been brought to my attention that there is potentially still some confusion regarding work hours. As Kevin or I have shared on multiple occasions, we are flexible. 7:30-3:30 is our standard. But, if you want to work 7:15-3:15 or 7:00-3:00 or 7:08-3:08 or 7:24:30-3:24:30, that works. If you have a duty at 7:30 and want to make your hours 7:28:42-3:28:42, no worries. I probably won’t even notice if you leave at 3:28:04 (and even if I did I wouldn’t say anything). I’ve never worried about your hours. I trust you to get your job done. If this is still confusing, I am willing to set exact hours for everyone or even individuals, so there is no more confusion. I’ve always avoided this for multiple reasons. But, if it is simpler for me to set hours, let me know and I will. Questions, see me.<\/p>\n

Nate Bartgatze is a pretty funny guy. There is a message in this for us as educators. But even if you don’t think it really connects, I hope you get a laugh.<\/p>\n
