Teacher Advisory Council Updates

Today the Teacher Advisory Council met for their monthly meeting.  The following were topics discussed:
  • Trimesters were discussed and final questions were answered.  The Board of Education memo will be submitted on the consent agenda during a January meeting.  The PR for the shift, if approved, will be discussed at our February meeting.
  • The Council voted to apply for the cursive waiver, allowing the district to expose students to cursive writing but not require the practice and explicit teaching of cursive writing.
  • Initial discussion of the student recognition based on core values was held.  The Council is looking at student involvement, reflection, and goal setting attainment for the recognition process.  Further discussion will continue on this process in the next months.  
  • The guidelines for showing your #kanelandpride in a staff video challenge were discussed and approved.  Get ready to show your pride and have some fun this January!  The competition begins late January and runs through April.  Get your creative juices flowing now!
