Present: Rob, Michelle, Karen, Keri, Sara, Kristin C., Jenna, Ben, Erin, Paige, Trish, Alesia, Wendy B.
Guest: Dr. Anthony Dancer
Agenda:
1. Telling the Randolph Story: Preparing for the External Visitation
We’d talked about puzzle pieces revealing the unique aspects of Randolph. Wendy B. fashioned a mock up of a 4-level puzzle.
The top layer pieces showed each of the standards. When each standards piece was lifted, the area below showed the pieces of evidence about how Randolph meets that school improvement standard. Next, the evidence pieces were taken off to show Randolph’s mission and purpose (independent learners, consumers of information, etc.). The bottom layer is a big picture of Randolph students…and the narration of the parts lead to the learning and growth of these children. That’s what Randolph does extremely well.
