KIPP - 1/3 teachers was okay; one teacher was on his way out; classes were packed in their freshman year; senior class was smaller than the freshman class

KIPP - no lesson plans from the teachers; they had lps from prior years; no tests taking place

gedeonp — 2024-10-14 18:29:48 UTC

KIPP - Helpful to have a lesson plan available for observers; Knowing where teachers are at in their curriculum.

Positive Efforts

Alpha & KIPP - schools did not have a heritage program for students

gedeonp — 2024-10-14 18:39:47 UTC

ACE - Need a scope and sequence for the heritage course; Lack of AP Spanish course

gedeonp — 2024-10-14 18:41:18 UTC

ACE - Math one teacher is the only consistent teacher; teacher improvement with Alg 1 from prior year; AP Seminar teacher is probably the strongest teacher on campus.

gedeonp — 2024-10-14 18:42:44 UTC

ACE - Higher-end math courses are the courses where there was a long-term teacher; Prior AP Calculus was making up their own math academic terms; scope and sequence states they are using integrated math, but geometry is taught only if time is available. Math calendar must be pieced mealed together from Geo/Alg II for integrated 1

gedeonp — 2024-10-14 18:45:43 UTC

ACE - Teachers do not use math curriculum with fidelity; Math teacher was hidden and not shared originally

1-2

Admin heavy presence; would love to have the team ask a question of us; are school leaders processing what is being shared out? Can the team summarize what they heard or next steps after share out;

gedeonp — 2024-10-14 19:20:39 UTC

ACE - Math 2 and Pre-Calculus classes are online via third-party vendor;
