M iddle S chool I nfo C enter Teacher Advisory Activities M iddle S chool I nfo C enter The following are some activities that teachers could use in their Teacher Advisory Programs. Many have been used successfully in the past. Learning Styles Inventory (LSI) At the beginning of the year one of the best ways to learn about students is to administer this inventory which was developed by Dunn and Dunn. It is a 104 T/F test that students can complete in about 20-30 minutes. After a simple analysis a teacher can get a nice view of how these particular students like to learn and how they like to function. For instance, you will find out if a student is a self starter, prefers group or individual work, or works best in the morning or the afternoon. Multiple Intelligences Assessment Thankfully we now know that individuals enjoy learning in many different ways. Howard Gardner believes that humans possess seven intelligences. This Assessment allows a teacher to find out exactly how their students prefer to learn. For instance, some students are kinesthetic learners while others prefer learning mathematically. Name Games/Scavenger Hunts One of the best things teachers can do in the first few meetings of teacher advisory is to have scavenger hunts that allow students to get to know each other. Give them sheets with questions on it and the only way to answer them is to ask others in the class. Name games are a lot of fun too.

Teacher Advisory Council Notes January 18, 2001 Keyboarding - Keyboarding skills for elementary students has been unrealistic. A 14-year old will take 18 weeks to become comfortable with a keyboard, anything shorter shortchanges the learner - it takes time - not different than learning the piano. Students learning keyboarding skills was a major concern. Most students were learning poor keyboarding skills because they were doing the "hunt and peck" method for several years before ever being exposed to "home row keys" or the introduction to keyboarding. The administration was aware of the lack of keyboarding instruction for students. Students needed to enter high school with the ability to use a word processing program to "type" and format a simple written document, keyboard with reasonable speed and accuracy. Superintendent Holt noted we should not teach keyboarding until students are developmentally able. Then do it as young as possible. Kathy Hughes, director of curriculum, noted the district had a computer curriculum for K-6 with one component for keyboarding in 4th grade, but that went away in 1992 although many teachers are still doing it. This past summer, the office of technology teachers wrote a draft curriculum which had only recently been submitted to the curriculum department. The district's curriculum department would now begin the curriculum review cycle, with the same steps as all other curricula. The first step is to gather research, then advertise to all staff the formation of the computer curriculum writers' committee. Staff interested in serving on the writing committee will submit an application to the curriculum office. The writers work during the summer with the draft document circulated the following school year.

M iddle S chool I nfo C enter Kids Talk About Teacher Advisory M iddle S chool I nfo C enter Dr. Tom Gatewood recently talked to some youngsters about their teacher advisory programs. In particular these students talked openly about what they liked best about the activities they did on a daily basis. These responses were gathered via e-mail. Ben (9th Grader) "The advisory program in the middle school is very beneficial to all the students, in various ways. First, it gives a kid someone to turn to in times of trouble or for help. It is a personal relationship. By personal, I mean it is completely different than a student-teacher relationship. An advisor is there to listen to the advisee's qeustions, dilemmas, problems, or interests. Emily (9th Grader) I am pretty lucky to have had the support I need coming from an advisor in my school. There is always someone to talk to when I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders or someone to slow me down when I work too hard. Jessica (9th Grader) The middle school was a great experience. There were times I thought I might not make it, but I did. One of the great things about it was the advisory system. Every year in the middle school I seemed to be placed in the advisory that best suited my needs, and with an advisor who was very respondent, and truly cared about me.

Superintendent’s Teacher Advisory Committee (TAC) October 2, 2003 Minutes Demographer’s Preliminary Findings Superintendent Mathews gave each TAC member a yellow handout which outlined points from the demographer’s preliminary findings. A complete report will be presented at the October 6 School Board meeting. Dr. Mathews declined to comment on aspects of the report until Trustees have an opportunity to hear the complete report during a public meeting. His handout read as follows: As of today, October 2, 2003 , the administration knows the following key items given a preliminary look at demographer Bob Templeton’s latest demographic study of CISD: Today, EIS is over its 600-student capacity by 35 students. Projections show that enrollment will not decrease and becomes even greater each year through 2013. OUES is now over its 450-student capacity by 61 students. Projections show a continual increase in the number of students in the current OUES attendance zone. In order to rezone the OUES population, CES, DES and RES will also have to be rezoning or will become over capacity as well . (The current Old Union capacity at 18:1 has since been revised to 486 per Andra Barton and Chief Technology Officer Harry Ingalls JES, with housing development for north of 114, continues to pose enrollment challenges. Without question, the early childhood program will need to be relocated.

Home Administration Teacher Advisory Council Teacher Advisory Council Notes MARCH 15, 2001 TOPIC: Proposed 2001-2002 School District Budget Information Exchange Anne Wien -Stated they had four potlucks a year because of the great parent turnout. Another potluck was coming soon. They also had a "cool down" room for students who were a discipline problem in the regular classroom. The student then worked on their behavior with a staff member. It was helping with school discipline. Barnette - "Mini-Society" conference had been very beneficial, students were forming their own businesses. Budget - 2001/2002 Proposed Superintendent Holt said the administration did expect to receive this grant again. Currently, the administration had used this grant to hire eight teachers and three mentor teachers. There was a full-time elementary mentor teacher and two half-time secondary mentor teachers. If there is an increase in this grant for next year, the administration also wanted to hire a person for staff development. Staff Reduction - Due to the proposed increase in the PTR, the budget would be decreased by 16.5 teachers. The district also expected a decline in student enrollment next year for an additional decrease of 7.5 teachers. The total reduction proposed for the teaching staff was 24 positions. Normally, the district loses about 40 teachers each year to retirement or leaving.

Back to Promising Practices Teacher Advisory Board Academic Alignement/Achievement, Staffing/Professional Development Stanley Issacs Neighborhood Center, PS 198/77 Contact: Fred McIntosh fmcintosh@tascorp.org The Program With about 350 students enrolled in each school, P.S. 198 and P.S. 77 share a building on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The after-school program is managed by the Stanley M. Isaacs Neighborhood Center, a multi-service center that reaches over 6,000 community residents of all ages. The program is committed to “growing its own” – providing strong professional development to the high school and college students on its staff, and encouraging them to consider careers in teaching. Almost half of the group leaders in the after-school program participated in the Isaacs program. The Need The Site Coordinator was looking for new ways to link the program with the school day and to improve upon the already positive relationships that existed between after-school and school day staff. She also wanted to strengthen the program by having group leaders become more familiar with school day practices and curricula. There was also a strong commitment to the professional development of young staff members. The Response A Teacher Advisory Board (TAB) was established, composed of three teachers from each school, the Site Coordinator, and a Master Teacher, who works at both P.S. 77 and the after-school program. The TAB, which meets monthly, has developed and overseen two practices that help to connect the after-school program with the school:
