Colleagues,
Heidi A. Ramfrez, PhD
Chief Academic Officer
While May is generally seen as the winding down of the school year, I am very excited to know that many
of our schools and staffs are working hard to use these few weeks to better prepare our students, teachers,
coaches, and leaders for a successful start to the 2015-16 school year. Many sites are levera~in~ the
momentum that we c~ated with the Districtwide Learnin~ Day(s) (DLD). particularly around
implementation ofthe Comprehensive Literacy Improvement Plan (CLIP) and our broader goals for
College and Career Readiness (CCR) as laid out in Destination 2025. School teams are taking advantage of
this rare window of opportunity-outside of the student testing and teacher evaluation seasons--- to
deepen their understanding of CCR and CLIP, try new instructional practices in a "safe space" (e.g., gradual
release, integration literacy and language learning objectives in the content areas, meaningful literacy
stations), and identify professional learning needs and opportunities to prepare for full implementation in
August.
All of this to say, while you may not have realized it, by: et:Ving
I look forward to continuing to work with and hearing form each of you. Again, on behalf of Shelby County
Schools, thank you for all that you do!
Sincerely,
~
