MAP
ON SITE TEACHER TRAINING
In our constant quest for growth and excellence,
and in following with the recommendations of our 2010 SACS Accreditation Team, our
faculty has embraced numerous projects and training to raise the academic level
of our curriculum, to incorporate the proven teaching methods into our lessons,
to stay current with international teaching practices, and to improve the
assessment, reporting, and documentation systems for our students and parents.
Our teachers have been using the Measures
of Academic Progress (MAP) as a tool for not only validating our school
curriculum, but also for adapting levels of instruction, differentiating for
our diverse student population, and maximizing student learning in the
classroom. On Thursday, September 6 and Friday, September 7 we have arranged
for our teachers to participate in an on-site training with a MAP specialist
brought down from Northwest Education Association (NWEA). For this training,
all Elementary teachers some of the Secondary teachers will attend. Because of
that,
there will be NO school for grades Nursery to Grade
5 on Thursday and Friday, September 6 and 7.
Our teachers are making the necessary accommodations
in the delivery of the curriculum to make sure that this does not affect the
instruction of our students. As only a few of the secondary teachers will
attend the training,
the Middle and High School students will have
classes as normal on Thursday and Friday, September 6 and 7.
We thank our parents for their support and understanding in this matter, and encourage anyone who has a question to email our Head of School at debgilespk@yahoo.com
