The School Foundation holds first Council of Parent Leaders meeting.
The first Council of Parent Leaders meeting of the school year was held on Nov. 10th at Carver Elementary. Delmae grant recipients Ginger Baggette, Roy Ann Jolley, Melissa Marsik and Genevieve Boston presented a program highlighting Smart Response Systems and data driven instruction. Council members present included several of the FSD1 Board of Trustees, FSD1 administrators and teachers, parent leaders and members of The School Foundation staff and Board of Directors. The presentation included a hands on demonstration in which council members were given “clickers” and answered test questions. The presenters then demonstrated how educators are using the data to get immediate feedback on student achievement. Other key features of the system include: increased student engagement, instant feedback for students as well as teachers, providing differentiated instruction, offering cross-curricular connections and collaboration among teachers, schools and the district.
Math Masters of the Pee Dee is a program that will change classrooms into data driven zones of learning where student achievement is the ultimate goal. The council was formed by The School Foundation for the purpose of creating a communication and development structure for parent leaders within the district.
