EAC EC-5 Joint Statement

 Today the Educator Advisory Council met for the first monthly meeting of the 2022-23 school year.  The following were topics discussed:  

• The council discussed structure, location and goals.  The council will meet monthly and the in person meetings will be held at  Harter Middle School 7th grade team room.  All guests are welcome to join in each month as well.  The goals for this year were brainstormed and the follow will be areas of focus:

• Review of Core value PBP tables and the use of PBP tables for SBG practices 

• Planning Science (drafted today) and Social Science PBP work days

• Final behavior screener

• PL 3.0 Evidence Brainstorm

• Learner Profile Progress and in Practice

• Priority reported standards identification (October) 

• NIU RITE PD Barriers work

• MTSS review structures and shifts

• Co-teaching practices with MTSS and SPED

• Shouts and Celebrations

• The council took time to review the roll out of the revised learner profile and share celebrations, feedback and suggestions.  

• The council also discussed and began to review the reported standards for ELA and Math and identify the top 3-5 ones that are most important for learning progress to focus on during summer school. 

• The council also discussed Personalized Learning 3.0 and options for evidence sharing.  The team looked at the options for mapping out the plan to complete the 10 tenants in the next year and a half.  The deadline has been extended to May 2024.  We will be sharing evidence examples to share through the blog, EAC reps and other communication sharing. Evidence can take a variety of forms including:  learning walk forms from Admin or Coaches, observation notes from a peer visiting your classroom, notes from a team meeting, notes from a coaching cycle, student work video or sample, lesson outlines or plans, assessment data, and many more types.  Please note the reflection is meant to be a quick written reflection, oral conversation with educational Services, email, or google doc.  Reflections are meaningful but not lengthy and why did you make the learning decision and how can you continue it as a practice. Everyone will have over 17 hours of contract time over the course of the SIP and Institute Days to reflect on the work. The  work can be done with a team or partner as well and only takes 1 or 2 evidence pieces per tenant.  If your team or building would like a Q and A on how the evidence and tenants of Personalized Learning 3.0 Educational Service would be happy to come out or meet, please contact Sarah Mumm to set up a meeting. 

Please feel free to follow up with your EAC rep for any further information.
