Welcome and Call to Order
The meeting was called to order by Roberta Walker at 1:00 p.m.
Coaches' Corner
Data Dashboard - Ms. Robinson will present the second semester MAP data.
ELA - Textbooks and subscriptions will be presented for the budget consideration for 22-23 - Superkids, Gallopeade, My Own, Accelerated Reader, Stem Scope, and USA Test Prep.
Math
Professional Learning - Summer work sessions are planned for teachers - "Project Based Learning" and "Teaching for Mastery." We will look to hire experts in the field to come to DPA rather than sending teams out of town for training. "See Saw" program training will also be researched. This program gives students individual folders to house their work where teachers can electronically access it for grading.

Core subjects-The After School 10 week program has begun. 3:45 until 5:45 daily until March 31st. Students were selected using MAP data and teacher recommendations.
3rd - 8th grade teachers have regrouped students for instruction using test data so that they are targeting the lessons.
Interventionist are working well. Blackshear and Grant are continuing to teach the 8th grade math because we still have not hired a teacher.

Other Academic Concerns - FTE funding - we must schedule for 6 segments using the 9 programs in order to maximize FTE Funding. Dr. Brooks-Long is still working with DCSD to give Ms. Robinson access to training for Infinite Campus.
Summer School will be 4 weeks will include Kinder Camp and 1st through 8th graders. We need to reach out to the daycare centers in the area to recruit kindergartens and give tips on what the children need to know in order to be ready for kindergarten.
The 18 week plan will be submitted to DCSD on time.
DCSC is coming to DPA for a walkthrough assessment on March 10, 2022.
