2. Upcoming Staff Development Days
Description:
Last Tuesday, the principals and I met with Dr. Rebecca Koelln, Director of Leadership Development and Partnership Services at Resource Training & Solutions in St. Cloud. Our topic of conversation was the Marzano Causal Teacher Evaluation Model. Dr. Koelln is scheduled to facilitate teacher training for us in four half-day sessions. The training will be in the morning hours on May 2, June 5-6, and October 6. Board members are welcome, as always, to attend staff development training. |
3. School Visitations to Wadena, Pillager, and Forestview
Description:
Please find attached an email I sent John Huenink. He asked how the school visits went on Wednesday. |
4. MCR Article Written by Shari Bishop
Description:
Please find attached an article written by Shari Bishop about the gifted, talented, and enrichment program. It will be published in next weekend's edition of the Morrison County Record. This is part of our communication effort to have a school-related article published in the MCR newspaper every other week. Carrie Ardito is providing all of us feedback prior to submission. |
5. Tuition to Hamline's Gifted and Talented Program
Description:
The principals and I believe it would be greatly beneficial for Shari Bishop to enroll in Hamline's gifted and talented program. The graduate program is 15 credit hours. The idea I'm tossing around is asking the Royalton School District to pay for the tuition costs through available staff development funds. Because our GTE program is new and heavily reliant on Shari developing it we want to expand her knowledge and experiences with gifted and talented education. Please see attached my email to Kevin Rupp. I'd also like to hear your thoughts. The board would need to approve this request at the May board meeting. Shari wants to take summer classes right away. |
6. Weekly Bills
Description:
Please find attached the weekly bills for your approval. |
