The document outlines a strategic plan for Dunlap Valley Middle School to develop students' technological capabilities by increasing student participation in educational technology. It discusses using Edmodo, a free educational social media platform, to connect classrooms, share content and homework, and engage students. Statistics show growing Edmodo usage at the school from November 2011 to January 2012. The benefits of using Smart Response student response systems for formative assessments in 8th grade math classes are also presented.
The document discusses plans to create an enrichment program called the Enrichment Eagles to provide additional challenges and opportunities for gifted students in the Dunlap school district. It will identify gifted students using multiple criteria and assessments. An enrichment menu and parent handbook will be developed to inform parents about acceleration options. Feedback from stakeholders supported allowing teacher creativity, technology integration, intervention for advanced students, and using data to identify student needs.
Educators from the Netherlands visited Dunlap Schools to learn more about their continuous improvement model. The educators were interested in Dunlap School's approach to continuous growth and development. Dunlap shared insights into how they evaluate programs and identify areas for enhancement.
This document discusses the need to upgrade a school district's data network due to steady growth that has outpaced the current network's capacity. It details how the existing cable modem network is causing slowdowns, timeouts, and issues accessing essential systems. Data shows significant delays in loading web pages during school hours from both on and off-site. Several potential solutions were researched and a recommendation is made to upgrade the main internet connection to fiber and implement point-to-point wireless connections between sites at speeds of 125-300 Mbps, with an estimated one-time cost of $143,000 and additional monthly costs of $1,350. Board consensus is sought to move forward.

An Update on Dunlap School District FinancesJay Marino
The document provides an update on the finances of the Dunlap School District. It announces a series of blog posts that will demonstrate budget transparency by explaining various aspects of the district's finances, including the budget process, revenues, property taxes, expenses, and the current budget. The goal is to keep stakeholders informed about factors that influence the district's financial conditions and budget.
12-18-13 Public Presentation on Finances, Budget & the Tax LevyJay Marino
This document provides information about a school district's proposed property tax levy and budget. It summarizes the purpose of the levy, revenue sources, expenditures, and trends in enrollment, costs, and property values. Charts show increases in expenses, costs per pupil, and staffing compared to enrollment. The proposed 2013 levy would increase taxes by 11.7% to fund a budget with a projected $2.1 million deficit, which the board plans to address through fee increases, expenditure reductions affecting textbooks and salaries, and using reserves.
The data is used to guide continuous improvement efforts. Teachers and administrators carefully examine performance trends to identify strengths and needs at the student, classroom, school and district level. This informs targeted interventions, curriculum revisions, and instructional goal-setting to help all students succeed.
This document provides an overview of professional learning communities (PLCs) in the Dunlap School District. It discusses the key elements of PLCs including having a focus on learning rather than teaching, using collaboration and formative assessment to improve student outcomes, and basing effectiveness on results rather than intentions. The document outlines the characteristics of high-functioning PLCs, including having shared values, collaborative teams, and a commitment to continuous improvement based on data and results.

It discusses accomplishments in reading and math performance, facility updates, increasing student enrollment projections, and the need for a new elementary school. It then talks about lessons learned from geese about teamwork and looks ahead to strategic planning. The goal is to prepare students for the 21st century by developing skills like innovation, adaptability, and cultural awareness through a focus on professional learning communities and continuous improvement at all levels.
Continuous Improvement in the Middle School ClassroomJay Marino
This document outlines the components of a Continuous Improvement Classroom for middle school students. It discusses eight key components: understanding quality tools, establishing ground rules and mission statements, creating a data center to track goals and progress, setting SMART goals, using data folders to monitor individual progress, leading student-led parent conferences, and establishing a culture of continuous improvement. Examples and videos are provided to illustrate how each component can be implemented in the classroom.
1) The document discusses the benefits of adopting the Math in Focus Singapore Math curriculum to meet the rigor of the Common Core State Standards.
2) Key reasons for adopting Math in Focus include its emphasis on developing conceptual understanding before procedures, visualizations, and spiraling curriculum.
3) Lessons in Math in Focus follow a format of direct instruction, guided practice, hands-on activities, and independent practice to ensure mastery.
Leurs motivations pour participer à l’atelier : une méthodologie pour des résultats durables
Spontanément, ils déclarent avoir des objectifs et des attentes multiples privilégiant logiquement la recherche d’information sur les RPS (27%), la découverte de notre méthode de travail (24%), l’information sur des outils pour comprendre et résoudre leur problématique (23%) et la rencontre de pairs pour partager et échanger sur ces sujets (23%).
Plus précisément, ils viennent pour découvrir notre méthodologie qui associe la résolution de problème à la prévention RPS. Autrement dit, face à l’obligation de résultat qui incombe à l’entreprise en matière de prévention RPS, les RH et managers concernés cherchent avant tout des solutions de résolution et de prévention efficaces, avec des résultats durables.
La dimension de rencontre (avec des homologues ou avec les intervenants de LACT) complètent également leurs motivations.
Un quart d’entre eux s’attendent vraiment à travailler le problème qui les préoccupe au cours de l’atelier, ce qui est rendu possible par l’intervenant, soit au cours de la table ronde, soit au cours du cas analysé et commenté, soit au cours de l’entretien individuel téléphonique, quelques jours après l’atelier.
100% des participants intéressés par le contenu de nos ateliers… et presque tous convaincus…
Tous les participants ont exprimé avoir été intéressés par le contenu (100%), et l’ont dit majoritairement avec enthousiasme (oui, tout-à-fait : 56%).
Ils témoignent d’une très bonne adéquation entre le contenu de l’atelier (thème, cas choisis et illustrés, façon d’aborder les RPS) et leurs préoccupations professionnelles, ainsi que d’un très bon niveau de compétence et d’expertise de la part des intervenants (les trois quart le qualifient d’excellent).
Au delà des préoccupations de prévention qui les concernent tous, ils apparaissent très largement convaincus que LACT puisse répondre à leurs besoins, et plus nettement encore en matière de résolution de troubles RPS.
En matière de résolution de problème
Ce sont pour des situations de stress post-traumatiques, de harcèlement, de stress plus général et, dans une moindre mesure, de burn-out que les participants évaluent notre méthodologie de travail pouvant leur être utile dans leurs fonction aujourd’hui. Des situations vis-à-vis desquelles, au delà des outils existants, les DRH ou managers semblent encore relativement démunis, en termes de résultats effectifs et durables.
En matière de prévention
La prévention du stress et la formation des managers restent également les deux sujets sur lesquels notre méthodologie de travail peut leur être utile dans leur fonction aujourd’hui. Ce sont des portes d’entrée assez naturelles et pragmatiques pour envisager la prévention RPS.
Sonia Allard de NVI et Christine Dicaire de Club med Canada ont donné une conférence sur le virage web adopté par Club Med lors de la conférence Infopresse sur le tourisme.
Selon le fondateur de Grovo, start-up spécialisée dans le microlearning, quelques minutes d'attention valaient mieux qu'un long discours en matière de formation.
