Marsha and Amy... THANK YOU!!!!
We are indeed, helpless without you!
You two are the glue that holds Venture together.  You are the cool heads in the office when P.O's are confusing, phone calls are weird, kids are crumbling and parents are frustrated.  You know where things are, you know where things went, and you know which things ought not to be touched.  You know who to call and, more importantly, you know who not to call. And, you have the numbers for both.  You guide us down the haunted passages of Skyward (which should have been dubbed "Hellward"); and you pretend we're in meetings, when we're really just quietly rocking in the fetal position waiting for the clock to strike 2:30.  Thank you for everything you do!

Evaluations

I am working on evaluations, so I will be popping into classes for observations and working to get them written up in a timely manner.  We need to have a measure of student achievement.  The form that I fill out is below.  I will need a summary of evidence.  For example, if you selected CTE exams, include a sheet that tells how many students passed, or what their growth was, or whatever the measure was. When you meet with me, bring that summary of evidence and your summary of student input.  We also need to sign off on your leadership stipends (everybody initials the "hard to get" stipend.)

Measurable student achievement:  The measurement of student academic achievement or growth within a given interval of instruction for those students who have been enrolled in and attended 80% of the interval of instruction.  Measurement will be chosen by supervisor with staff input using one or more of the assessments as checked below and provide summary of evidence. _____a.  Pre-post tests                                                                _____ j. Advanced placement exams _____b.  Idaho Standards achievement test                                _____k. Career Technical Exams _____c.  Student learning objectives _____d.  Formative assessments _____e.  Teacher-constructed assessment of student growth _____f.   Performance based assessments _____g.  IRI (Idaho reading indicators) _____h.  College entrance exams such as PSAT, SAT, or ACT _____i.   District adopted assessment(s); such as End-of-course exams (EOCs)
