Tidbits to pass along:
1. MAP-A for Special Education students is changing right along with MAP and the Smarter Balance Testing format. In order to keep everyone up to date on current information the new MAP-A is DLM(Dynamic Learning Maps). You will here of this as we move forward with field testing of students and training of our SPED staff. From what I have learned is it quite involved but will give a better snapshot of learning progression of students.
2. BI field tested the Smarter Balance this year with the use of laptops from mobile labs and learned that they interacted better for the Smarter Balance testing than they do for NWEA. This is good news for us as we look to utilizing resources we have available for our 3rd grade students being tested next year.
Bucket Fillers: Corey Huddleston has been a hero for CRE today helping one of our friends find successful moments in his day. Corey is “smooth” in his ways with de-escalation. Way to go Mr. Huddleston!
Jeff Garr has really settled into his role here at CRE. I appreciate his attention to detail and his “go with the flow” approach to the day. Jeff has certainly been a great addition to our family.
Lora Molina and our Fabulous Kitchen Team have rallied behind our efforts to provide Grab N Go Breakfast for our students. This is just one of many times they stepped up for Kids! It’s an honor to work beside such a strong team.
MAP Committee Reps… Yay!! You Rock!! … thank you for your countless time spent planning for a memorable testing season.
