Team,
In the upcoming month Eric Powell and I would like to get in front of your staff to briefly talk about the classroom observations. We have gotten some feedback from the first two visits and we want to lower any concerns teachers might have. So, here are some details that are important to do:
- Schedule your classroom/environmental observation for me and Eric with Magadalyn Hasse (Denise Sevigny is now retired) If you haven’t already.
- Schedule a 10 minute presentation for me and Eric to come to one of your staff meetings with Magadalyn Hasse.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Have a restful weekend. ~Juan
To Do
From Dr. Cook
Oregon Statewide Educator Survey: deadline extended! – The deadline to complete the educator survey has been extended to Friday, March 24th. This extension will allow Oregon educators additional time to share their experience and provide essential feedback that will be used to help inform local and state school improvements. Please pass this information onto your staff and try to provide them with the time to complete it.

From Kelle Hidebrandt
New Oregon TAG Rules (From Kelle Hildebrandt): In January 2022, the Oregon State Board of Education adopted new TAG identification rules that are intended to uproot a system of prescribed inequitable outcomes. These newly designed and adopted rules have created new learning curves for districts and educators throughout Oregon. I have taken on some leadership to help evaluate our current TAG systems in BLS and assimilate these new rules. We have gathered a TAG advisory team that is currently working on a Core Beliefs document and learning about the new rules. Next year, the team will recommend changes to our assessment, identification, and instructional services. For this year, our systems will look the same as in previous school years. Please reach out to Kelle for any TAG questions or support.
