Diagnostic Review Week

Team,

This week we have our diagnostic review.  The review is an opportunity to have our instructional program and school culture reviewed.  The team from Cognia (formerly AdvancED) will provide us with improvement priorities that will function as high leverage strategies to move our collective work forward to increase student achievement.  I'm proud of the work we have in place and look forward to feedback to impact our future actions.  Here is the week at a glance:

• Monday, November 18th -- Principal presentation @ Louisville Marriott East - 4:30 PM
• Tuesday, November 19th -- Cognia team arrives by 8AM (will be housed in Mrs. Gutterman's office).
• The team will begin walkthroughs using the ELEOT tool
• The team will begin interviewing staff members
• Wednesday, November 20th -- Cognia team arrives by 8AM 
• The team will interview parents beginning at 9:30, parents arriving @ 9:15 AM
• The team will interview students beginning at 2:00 PM (select group)
• The team will conduct walkthroughs and interview staff members
• Thursday, November 21st -- Cognia team arrives by 8AM 
• The team will finish conducting interviews and walkthroughs, departing by noon
• The team has 30 days to provide a written report to KDE and our district
• Results at the school level are anticipated by the end of December

Please be sure your classroom is ready for instruction, student work is posted, and your daily learning targets are posted, along with success criteria.  I was told they will interview 25% of the staff, so be prepared for interviews.  They did not specify who would be interviewed.  Don't be nervous, you all know what we do, be confident in speaking on what you know.  As always, I appreciate your work and efforts at King.  Have a great week.
