5th Planning Day for Program Review





It seems unreal this journey that we have been on of evaluating our schools arts and humanities program. We have worked very hard at evaluating every aspect of our schools Art, Music, Dance and Drama programs. We have thought about how to be more inclusive of the 4 art forms in our classrooms and subjects. We have surveyed our schools teachers and staff. We believe that by evaluating our school we have found areas for improvement and identified some very strong programs already in place. So we are submitting our report to the SBDM and then they will deliver it for review to the District Level. The District will then OK us to submit our results to Assist/KDE. Yes, quite a journey!

The PLCS Team is well on their way to finishing up their evaluation as well. They too have identified the strengths and weaknesses in the areas they have reviewed. The content for review has left them with many collaborations and future plans. Their content revolves around Practical Living and Career Studies. Students love the News Show and Technology is of course a big part of our school. Currently the issue of obesity is in the news and that makes teaching healthy lifestyle choices and Physical Education such a valuable asset of any school. Also, teaching students about careers and giving them direction as they begin to make life choices as well as skills for living is a valuable course. The evaluation of these programs only shows how very needed and valuable this type of teaching is to the students of our school.
