Special Board of Education Workshop: May 20th at 4:00pm
The
Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board of Education will be holding
a workshop on Tuesday, May 20, 2008, at 4:00pm in the boardroom at the district
office: 1651 16th Street.
On
February 26, 2008, the Educational Services Department held an information
workshop for the board regarding districtwide efforts to improve literacy. That session addressed: 1) a review of the
achievement data, 2) the K-8 standards-based core curriculum, 3) supplemental
and intervention programs and services, 4) promising practices, challenges, and
innovative practices for differentiated instruction, and 5)
recommendations.
As a
result of that February workshop, the board requested that staff return with a
follow up plan for the implementation of literacy interventions, with a
specific focus on Early Education Literacy and Reading Specialists. The plan will show the current level of
utilization of Literacy/Reading Specialists, estimated costs based on suggested
formulas, and cost implications.
