Did you notice?

 

It's staff Panorama Survey time.  It's an opportunity to take the temperature of our building.  The survey will ask your opinion about leadership, trust, feedback and satisfaction.  There are days that you may feel low and others when you are on top of the world. 

 Let's face it.  You work very hard and progress may seem slow.  Yet you persevere!

 I wanted to make sure you knew that you are making a difference in the lives of children.  You notice when they are gone.  You notice when they are sad or dysregulated.  You react to make a positive change.

You wonder why they aren't progressing at the rate they should.  You wonder what may be a barrier to their success.  You make a plan and act.  

That is what you do each and every day.  

Let me tell you what I noticed...

• I noticed that we have gone from 45% to 81% of our students working at grade level in Lexia.
• I noticed that we are 64% proficient in ELA and 63% in Math.  Our goal is 70%.  We are on target to meet this.
• I noticed that 100% of grade level teams are meeting as a PLC at their scheduled times.
• I noticed that 3 students who were on track for a BSP program are now successful in general education because of the efforts of Heather, Jessica, Lindsay and the student support team.
• I noticed that all of three of the students in BSP are integrating in general education.

These are some things that were noticed that the following was done to increase satisfaction?

• Time to read and respond to this Blog during professional development on Monday?
• Giving you more time as a PLC to learn together on Monday afternoon.  It also allows you to process and plan to use new learning.
• The principal is spending equal time with general education and BSP
• The principal is doing more first response.

When you take your survey remember that feedback is given in general ways like implementation studies and the weekly blog.  Group feedback is given each week during your PLC.  Individual feedback given through a small note and 1:1 feedback at least every three weeks.  Your efforts are noticed and you matter.  Giving your input is an opportunity to share and then an opportunity for the leadership team to respond to it.

Thank you for your efforts.  Thank you for your dedication.  Thank you for your advocacy.
