SIT Meeting April 2013


SIT Meeting Agenda 4-15-2013
  1. Comprehensive Needs Assessment Groups 
  2. Teacher Survey - Lisa Turner
  3. Any grade level concerns 
From Gentry:  "CNA Data Groups - This document lists out the data groups and members.  Ms Gentry tried to give everyone their first or second choice of group to even it out. Along with each group listed, there is a list of potential data sources for you to use to complete your analysis.  This is not a comprehensive list, but rather a starting point for you. There is loads of data for many of you. If you wish to make copies of what we have, please let me know. I'm happy to get you the information that you need."


"This document outlines what you need to accomplish for the CNA process, including questions to answer. Our target time for completion is late May/early June." 

(CNA) Comprehensive Needs Asssessement:  
  • Look at your groups, and touch base with your partners
  • Some of you have asked guidance of where to find your data--continue to see Gentry on this
  • Data is not set in stone, not limited to the items on the Staff Shared folder under SIT
  • Ms Neal ane Ms Gentry have more data in binders and on webportal
  • Data can be caught as a moment in time and therefore might have changed as issues may have already been addressed
  • We might possibly gather more data and do another survey for groups such as teachers
  • Question:  For example, are teachers getting what they need from the district?
Another survey?
  • Email from Bud Harrelson about another survey coming soon concerning Single School Culture (grant running out—have to show data)
  • We have to be concerned about the timing of the survey
Drop dead line on CNA report:  
  • Gentry has to have by the time we leave for the summer
  • Comprehensive needs assessment has to be compiled this summer
  • So we are looking at June 15th

 Lisa Turner on the idea of a SEMS teacher spring survey:
  • Making a survey can be a "graduate class" must be carefully written to be valid
  • Follow-up CHAMPS survey to be included along with this survey?
  • Turner looked for patterns of responses from last survey to compile the questions she came up with for this survey
  • SIT members said yes on including CHAMPS
  • Lisa showed us some questions and gathered SIT member feedback
  • Turner is going to polish the questions and get back with us
  • Elkins group is going to come up with a process type question for this survey
Next meeting,  (one or two more?)
  • Rotation of people to be determined
  • Also have to finish up the Comprehensive Needs Assessment plan
  • Also a follow up on the jeggings conversation--a meeting so we can clarify for next year's planners
  • Elkins proposes two meetings:
    • 1 for leggings and a discussion of SIT members for next year
      • We want to leave for summer knowing what the vacancies are on SIT and the plan for new SIT members in August
    • Last meeting to address the comprehensive needs assessment
    • May 13th or 20th (13th should be good) 
      • Gentry to get back with us on the exact date…
Ms Worrell will be the new FACS teacher next year...?
