Thanks for working last week together to plan our Students of Concern process. I have captured some important notes from that conversation<\/a> here. Please take a few minutes to read through them!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have read these notes (especially the reminders on “how to use the sheet”), then please be sure to update the SOC sheet prior to 2PM on Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I will review the data between 2pm and 4pm and set up a couple of EBISS “staffing teams” to dig into specific kids (with a protocol<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is the overall agenda with links to slides<\/a> for components. I will set aside some time on Wednesday afternoon to finalize this planning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those that don’t have a 9th or 10th grade Crew, I have paired you up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n MORE TO COME!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am hoping to clarify some of the WHO and HOW of tech support for you as staff and for students. This is still a bit of a fluid situation, and we are trying to balance the load, ask the right people the right questions etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LISA JOHNSON – TIER 1: <\/strong>Lisa’s main role right now as our Tier 1 person is to help students\/families:<\/p>\n\n\n\n LAURA CLARK – INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT<\/strong>. Laura’s role is to support teachers with any questions OR problems they (or their students) are experiencing with instructional apps like WebEx, Google Drive, Canvas, Go Formative, YouTube, etc etc. Individual teachers CAN email Laura questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n HEIDI DIXON: Canvas Coach<\/strong> Heidi will be a support person to help our teachers get better at using Canvas and can also be a support person as you are trying to help students troubleshoot Canvas issues. Heidi can move it up the food chain to Laura if she is stuck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n BRAD WALER – SITE TECH<\/strong>: Brad is really the go to back up support person for LISA AND ROGER. The only time (I think) that a teacher would go directly to Brad is if they were having a hard time with a piece of classroom tech hardware (example: digital projector, doc cam, or teacher laptop, printer). I recommend going through JENNIFER first on these issues and she may punt it up to Brad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As usual, it is good to remember the legal constraints around discussing the upcoming election in class. Since families can now overhear what we say in class, this becomes potentially even more important! Please READ: election message<\/a> and an election guidance flier<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am ALWAYS happy to collaborate with one or more of you on a grant application for ANYTHING that you feel like you want to fund, try out, or develop. This one, for up to $1000.00 is coming up soon-ish, due October 31st!:<\/p>\n\n\n\n SPARK! Creative Learning Grant applications are open<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jen and I would like to proceed with “planning our plan” for Intensives this trimester! However, given the exceptional circumstances, it seems prudent to check in before we just assume that we are going forward in an “as usual” way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you please give us your input and thinking on Intensives using this survey. To be clear, Roger will review the results of this survey and make an informed decision about our direction… this is one of those “Level 2 Decisions”<\/a> on the 5 Levels of Decision Making Scale (I decide with lots of your input).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is your venue\/survey for the 1st round of input!<\/a><\/strong> Please share your input now, or no later than end of day Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A cloth, paper, or disposable face mask that covers the nose and the mouth is the requirement for all BLS students and staff with some exceptions. When exceptions apply, a face shield is permissible, but other safety practices should be implemented, such as more than 6 feet of social distancing and\/or added ventilation of fresh air. The exceptions are described below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n CLEANING ROUTINES: <\/strong>Many thanks to the dynamic duo of Nole Kennedy and HDMS lead custodian, Tim Bennett, for creating this \u201cHow To\u201d<\/a> video instructing staff on the daily cleaning routines of desks\/tables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I am revising, again!<\/strong> Has that been happening to you with your lesson and curriculum planning as you adjust to the new realities of CDL!!??<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay tuned – I will get my revisions out soon. Know that the revisions only address Wednesday afternoons, not our 4:00 – 4:30 plan for afternoons and our Staff Crew on Friday AMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Students of Concern Thanks for working last week together to plan our Students of Concern process.
