TAC Joint Statement

The TAC Committee met this afternoon and the following topics we discussed:

Nicole Pryor and Vikki Moeller attended the meeting and the committee had an open discussion held on the Universal Behavior Screener. KBK has done this for a few years now, and noted that teachers have become familiar with the process so the teaching staff now completes it by a given date on their own.
In order to have the behavior screener analyzed for data day discussions, some schools missed the norming window. To problem solve this, teachers had the opportunity to go back and amend the form prior to data day meetings
The committee discussed some of the functional skills that students struggle with. Hopefully as the process continues we will be able to find some data patterns to help address needs.
Some schools used previous swis data in addition to the screener to help make social work groups.
KST representatives shared out on the co-teaching progress in their building
Benefits of the structure were shared as well as some roadblocks that KST has experienced
Overall, it seems to be successful for the students
As a district, we are looking at the continuum of services for students and where co-teaching falls on that continuum
Co-teaching is an ongoing process that is constantly being evaluated and there are many benefits to share. There are also some unknown pieces that are difficult to account for (scheduling, caseload, students who qualify later in the year, etc.)
It is important to note for co-teaching that as long as the special education teacher and the general education teacher co-plan and review student progress jointly, either teacher can deliver the instruction. In a co-taught class, the general education teacher can instruct a student with an IEP as long as they were involved in planning with a certified LBS1 teacher. These would count as co-taught minutes on an IEP.
The results of the first collective efficacy rubric for TAC was shared and the results are found in the TAC notes
The TAC committee will take the survey and use the data to set goals moving forward
Open House structures were discussed, specifically looking for ways to make the night more meaningful and impactful for parents
Discussed in detail “A Day in the Life” experiences similar to what a staff member has done before
Open House numbers that have been tracked for years show this as one of the lower attended evenings
TAC members will be sharing with their individual buildings the brainstormed ideas at a morning meeting to try and put some changes in place moving forward
We will put in a check in date at out January
