North Judson-San Pierre Superintendent Dr. Annette Zupin provided some details about an outside assessment that’s being done at the schools at last week’s school board meeting.
In the past, school officials would receive an audit from AdvancedEd. However, due to factors such as money, time and stress they decided to go with a more meaningful outside audit this year.
Whereas AdvancedEd would just do a general review, these new assessors will look at test scores and work with staff to get a feel for the schools. The audit is done in two phases, the first phase is assessment and the second phase is professional development.
When school board members met last Monday, Dr. Zupin shared that the assessment phase has already begun. She said a few weeks ago, curriculum specialist interviewed all elementary school teachers and core teachers at the 7th and 8th-grade level.
“We’re concentrating on a K-8 audit because the high school test and the graduation pathways is a whole different beast so we’re going to be concentrating on curriculum for the iLearn test.”
Dr. Zupin said now that teachers have been interviewed, the next step will be for the representatives to come back and meet with her at the beginning of October After that, they will return to meet with administrators and the school improvement teams to devise a plan on how to instruct students more efficiently.
