More Detailed Minutes from May 2
The SLT discussed the prospect of changing the structure of the SLT to include non-department chairs. After some discussion about the nature of the SLT membership (department chairs vs. school leaders), the following goals were decided upon:
Each SLT meeting shall consist of three parts
- SLT – curricular and school concerns. Each meeting will be focused on one issue. The facilitator from each meeting will be determined beforehand. We will try to get at least one outside “expert” from the SMHS staff and faculty to attend each meeting. Any other interested parties or individuals will be invited or at least welcomed. The goal for each meeting would be to determine action plans and steps to take.
- Staff Development – review and approve staff development proposals that are focused on pre-determined school-wide or standards-based concerns.
- Administrative issues—TBA
The first meeting of next year will be to plan out the year’s agendas. With about nine meetings to take place next year, we will need to be selective in our agendas. We will want to make sure that we have outside visitors identified to present, discuss, or advise.
We can also determine the goals for staff development per WASC recommendations.
Remaining questions: do we want to have some standing, non-chair members? Will we have other roles besides facilitator, like secretary? Will we have an overall focus to unite staff development?
