At Willow Springs we grow together as we pursue the core competencies in CSD’s Portrait of a Scholar. Our goal is to increase student literacy skills through engagement, content integration, and high-quality learning.
Willow Springs SCC plays an integral part in developing and supporting our TSSP. In each meeting we have discussed student growth data, parent concerns, and council suggestions. Of particular concern to the SCC is engaging, face-to-face instruction with hands-on learning experiences. Additionally, extending learning opportunities and challenging proficient students is a priority.
In our October SCC meeting, we reviewed Acadience benchmark data.
In our January SCC meeting, we reviewed current year's funding allocations and agreed to hire additional support for ML students and reading interventionists in support of our reading goal.
In our February SCC meting, we reviewed Acadience data and analyzed growth relative to school goals. We discussed the importance of both benchmark and growth considerations and agreed to account for data as goals were written, not excluding students already on benchmark from growth counts. This will likely result in lower reported data from previous years. We discussed funding priorities.
In our March SCC meeting, we reviewed the TSSP draft created by the Building Leadership Team. We discussed our goals, professional development needs, and resource allocations. SCC agreed to the drafted proposals.
