KEY VISIONS

Focus on Developmental 

Learning & Transitions

My Beliefs

• We need to look at preK-2nd grade, 3rd-5th grade, and 6th-8th grade as unique cohorts with specific developmental needs
   

• Questions we need to be asking: “What does my child need to learn long term? What will they need to be successful in high school and beyond?”
   

•  I have professional experience working with learners with IEP’s and I have personal experience being a mom of learners in the TAP programs.  I believe ALL learners in our district need high expectations for growth and achievement and the tools to get there. 
   

• We need strong articulation protocols to transition our learners into kindergarten, transition them from 5th to 6th grade, and transition them from 8th-9th grade.

My Ideas

• The board receives monthly updates on district differentiation and shares these updates with the community 
   

• We create Primary, Intermediate, and Middle School team leaders that serve as a representative of the developmental needs of those learners when making systemic board decisions
   

• We create a Middle School To High School Transition Task Force to serve as a guidepost for middle school planning and as a source of parent and student information.
