Question:  Should their be a seperate strand at the 2009 Summer RAPPS districts for the Corrective Action Districts

EED represented by Les Morse.

Current Status:

• 20 districts are in corrective action
• EED is intervening in 5 districts
• Three districts under audit (BSSD, LKSD, North Slope)

The Summer Institute must be focused on what the corrective action districts need to implement - would not serve a lot of other districts.

If enough there is enough crossover with audience and speakers  - it may make sense to deliver  the corrective action strand with the UAA cohort

Corrective Action districts working on:

• Assessment systems that inform instruction on a regular basis - formative assessment

• What does instructional leadership look like in the classroom?

• Teacher observation

• Collaboration - weekly collaborative meedings examiniing data, instruction and professional development  and collaboartive group coaching

Could develop a strand on Improving Instructional Practices.   Do not want it to be so big that they can't work in small groups - corrective action districts need focused work time.
