Minutes: <br /> • Approved minutes from the October 18 meeting—Katie put forward a motion and it was <br /> seconded by Christopher and then approved by Beth, Carrie, and Lisa <br /> Agenda: Discussion: Working Innovation Plan <br /> • Katie and Chris presented the overview of the "Innovation Plan" district wide initiative <br /> highlighting the 4 strategic objectives A, B, C and D <br /> • Key deck highlights: <br /> o Collaboration is key across the district—the plan will be looking at the individual school <br /> level, but also looking across joint district initiatives. <br /> o Hastings staff has strong RTI to ensure interventions are made for students that are not <br /> meeting benchmarks. Additionally, data informs decisions and working on new <br /> leadership structure. <br /> o A call to complete a Parent self-assessment survey was sent out. However, the Parent <br /> self-assessment response rate was low—but this seems to be a shared statistics across <br /> other schools too. <br /> o Of the Parents who did respond some indicated that they were "unsure how assessment <br /> really works" <br /> o Goal setting seems to be more "talked about" at 3 and 4 grade level. <br /> o Chris commented on the range of a "measurable goal' expressing that any child could <br /> have a measurable goal for example a K student needing to "sit" for snack to a 5th <br /> grader having a reading goal. Therefore, we need to collectively think of goal setting in <br /> context for grade level and share communication. <br /> o Some of the Parent suggestions from the survey were asking children to be "challenged <br /> more", Parents expressed the want for more information around decision making, an <br /> example was around "adding world language" and looking for more ways to provide <br /> feedback on areas. <br /> • Katie walks through the 4 goals <br /> o Address and Narrow Equity Gaps <br /> o Redefine Success <br /> o Cultivate Student Agency <br /> o Innovate for Sustainable Change <br /> • Carrie—asks questions around the size of the current school in relation to the overall innovation <br /> planning. <br /> o Chris shared <br /> ■ Hastings is at 622 +/- students with a student capacity of 650, 30 classrooms <br /> available, but only using 29 classrooms. <br /> ■ central registration determines where kids are assigned <br />
