Positive Core

Im Improvin ving th the In Instr tructio ctional l Core “For any positive impact on student learning to Textbooks take place, changes in any single element of the instructional core must be accompanied by Content corresponding changes in the other two elements. There are 3 ways to increase student learning and performance. 1. Increase the knowledge and skill of teachers; 2. Change the content; Student Teacher 3. Alter the relationship of the student to the teacher and the content.” Technology Professional ----- Richard Elmore Development

Special Education Shift in Title for Recent Job Posting Department • Current: Executive Director of Pupil Personnel Services • New: Assistant Superintendent of Special Education and Staffing Pupil Personnel Services & an additional Supervisor of Special Education Rationale: The Assistant Superintendent for Special Education and Pupil Services will be a visionary leader who is able to balance time between curriculum, programs, services and instruction for Students with Disabilities as well as operational leadership. Based on the current staffing of the department, leaders are challenged to spend the appropriate amount of time as visionary, instructional leaders due to the magnitude of “operational” responsibilities.

PLANNING PHASE 2016-17 • Create special education study group to examine current programs and current models of co-teaching throughout the district • Meet with every principal to uncover strategies that have worked as well as challenges. • Identify target population which may benefit from co-teaching (i.e. students with disabilities, English language learners, Gifted/Talented, etc.) Phase 1 • Articulate a mission and vision for co-teaching with study group. • Recruit personnel for special education leadership positions. • Students are placed by need into future placements. • Identify schools and participants for implementation. • Work with principals to identify pairings for 2017-18 and provide clarity of roles and responsibilities. Phase 2 • Establishing baseline of student performance and devising outcomes for the first school year. • Provide professional development for district and school principals Phase 3 • Provide professional development for teachers and other staff; co-teachers experience joint training.

IMPLEMENTATION PHASE 2017-18 • Administration to address logistical issues (e.g. Scheduling of students, teacher planning time, etc.) • Provide opportunities for co-teachers to chart a future direction together (i.e. Having a shared belief/vision regarding co-teaching; finding a planning time and using it effectively; deciding how to address specific student needs during co-teaching; determining how to resolve conflicts with co-teaching partners; exploring Phase 4 the six approaches of co-teaching (how/when to implement them); establishing classroom routines and behavior management; articulating student expectations (performance and procedures); sharing teaching styles and preferences; and determining grading procedures and accountability.) • Administration visits co-teaching classes regularly and coach teachers for fidelity of implementation. • Administration meets regularly with teachers to review student performance and provide supports. • Continue needed professional development. Phase 5 • Provide assistance for struggling co-teaching partnerships. • Evaluate co-teaching program effectiveness using student achievement outcomes and plan revisions. • Gather additional evaluation data, including other measures related to students and perceptions of stakeholders. • Analyze the year’s progress and make adjustments for the 2018-19 school year.
