Exploration Elementary Charter School for Science and Technology

Staff received a robust week of training around the unique facets of our Charter. This included dasa training, covid-19 training, hr, facilities, & Technology training. Additionally, staff reviewed pbis, arrival/dismissal procedures, lunch procedures, lesson planning and the shifts to embed restorative practices on a more consistent basis with both opening and closing circles daily. Throughout these sessions, we continually were modeling best practice strategies and collaborative working groups to provide staff with the best experiences to enable them to best support their students in an academic environment as we prepare to welcome back, 404 new students including new kindergarteners, returning 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th, and 5th grade students.

Based on the data from our i-ready assessments given School wide, we provided 2.0 teachers in each classroom to provide instruction to all studetns in small group centers. This frameworks allows us to provide more support to all studetns who are 2 or more grade levels below.
