5. Highlights 2010-2011 Awarded TAP/TIF Grant “If we are going to make a positive shift with our student achievement levels, we need to change what we are currently doing, which means we also may need to re-examine our own beliefs and may need to strengthen our professional skills. TAP can do just that. The goals are to increase student achievement, increase the effectiveness of teachers and principals, and recruit and retain effective teachers and principals at the participating schools.” Dr. Nicholas Gledich, Superintendent School District 11

Editor's Notes
This slide is intended to present our school’s identity Who are we? And how do we express that to the BOE
MESA slide of parents with kids, PBL parent nights, Science Festival
The Space Foundation has not only been working with our students in the Space Missions Lab ( fulfilling contract)but Mars Robotics Lab is built and the JSAA students participated in their student art contest and student career tours at NSS
Teachers taking courses this summer and Mars Robotics Yard, NASA Podcast Training
Here is one solution- move into TAP slide
TAP is a great solution for our school. And, our staff is one of the highest voting in agreement schools in the district at 87%, so we have great “buy in” with the staff as seen in this voting poll

Remember to invite the BOE to the Falcon Fun Day April 30 and Curriculum Exhibition Night May 10
Our students will produce a daily announcement broadcast. In addition to the daily announcements, students will create multimedia presentations of core classes, produce segments that help future students, and work in a 21st Century Skills way.
Concept: To provide a multi use space to serve several purposes; student learning, community engagement, and teacher professional development. Objectives:Military students/parents have oppotunity to use to computers to Skype family members overseas. Parents to be trained on technology their students use. An opportunity for students to have technology to do their homework. Opportunity for students to stay afterschool for homework and other technology oppoturnities for student achievement growth and also not go home to an empty home. Great place for staff development. Great place for community meetings.Great place to market school to newly located military families.Great place to promote STEM. Science, Technology, Engineering, and MathA place to have technology math and science games for student competition.
End with Jack Swigert- how he has integrity, use his ideals to express the future of JSAA
Discuss Andre Paul and the teachers we have at the school. Look at what the BOE has provided to this community in COS. Because of their support in the transitioning of Jack Swigert Aerospace Academy!
