D. Model Evidence for non-core areas was presented by Barb Motes. Some of the non-core areas that work was completed or nearing completion on included school counselors, media specialists, nurses, and physical education instructors.
SPED model evidence is being worked on but information was not presented.
Other non-core areas were still being investigated.
Barb was planning on sending e-mails to some of the non-core areas for additional input and reactions to the materials developed.
E. Updates on Core Areas
Kent Stopak shared copies of the format used to assemble the evidence for the core area standards.
Kent supplied copy of the cover sheet to be attached to the evidence for the core area standards. The cover sheet was designed to emphasize how the document was to be used with inclusion of 'fair and consistent' criteria expressed. It was to be noted and clarified that the document is a guide not a check list or prescription of required items. Editing and discussion took place.
F. Other business
Discussion took place as to what other business is in front of this committee for the rest of the year.
The committee needs to reflect on the data of implementation of the process of evaluation--who is on cycle, off cycle, and so forth.
The committee needs to review the staff in-service days reflecting on number of staff who were involved, strengths and weaknesses of the plans for those days, and follow-up activities for the upcoming year.
