Professional Development March 8: Grade Level Meetings

We met in the library and Ms. Gonnella went over the objectives for the grade level meetings. Mr. Contreras is meeting with the special ed. department and the seventh and eighth grade ET teachers are working on common tasks and grade-level activities. Eighth grade then met to get requirements together for regaining eligibility for eighth graders.

In the eighth grade meeting we started with Lily mentioning her ideal situation for undoing the Us situation. There seems to be no resolution to this problem. There is then a debate about the F-C conversion and how eligibility impacts field trips.

We came to the resolution that if a student no longer has Us in classes from first semester they must earn an S or E in order to regain eligibility.

Then there was the discussion of the appeal process and student having a teacher-advocate going into the appeals process.

At tomorrow's panorama picture ET practice, we'll review the culmination requirements and how students can regain eligibility.
