Trust Land’s Training Conference

meeting.
COUNSELING:
SEOP’s – Rod Campbell
The counselors would like to do things differently
with junior SEOP’s. After meeting with the resource and special needs students,
they will focus on the juniors in March. They will send out an email list with
a link for a site where parents can type in what they want to talk to
counselors about at their SEOP. We will keep
the SEOP meetings to about 15 minutes.
Sophomore SEOP’s
will be in February.
Kenley said that we are around the high 80’s or low
90’s for email addresses. Instead of sending out a bulk mailing, a caller will
be sent to parents letting them know that counselors are getting ready for
junior SEOP’s and please make sure their email address is up to date because
they will be sending information to them by email.
A council member requested that notification be put on the website
alerting seniors of upcoming deadlines.
Teacher Conference Report – Gary
Twitchell
Krista
Di Lello’s Conference Report -
They
discussed the new dance core curriculum and reviewed the requirements for the
practice test in dance. Most important
they talked about how the new literacy core ties to dance and what they should
be doing in dance to assist the
Language Arts teachers with the new literacy core.
Stakeholders Report – Gary Twitchell
“
The Smartest Schools” What are they analyzing to come up with the ranking
system?
UCASS
is based on several things.
1-
Student proficiency – ranked 11th overall
and 4th among traditional district schools.
2-
Graduation rate – Top 10% - highest in the district as
recorded by both USOE and Deseret News
3-
Student growth rates – Fail down here
Assessing
where a student is and how much growth he makes. In mathematics only 30% of our
students are even assessed. Only
Algebra 1 students were assessed. We have many students in Calculus and
Precalaculus that were not included in
the assessment. We are aware of where our holes are and we are making a
focus on our lower achievers and making
sure those students that are proficient are making growth gains also.
Areas
that we are not assessed in that we do exceptionally well in are:
1-
Amount of students enrolled in AP.
2-
The students passing rate for AP.
3-
We were ranked 5th among all schools in the
state of Utah for our percentage of students enrolled in AP and our percentage
of students passing AP.
Blogspot – Carla will help with it.
