Instructions for Submission (W4LO4, W4LO7, W4LO8, CLO3, CLO4)

This assignment has three components. The components include a memo, documentation, and a reflection.

I. Memo #3:

You will continue to assume the role of a new hypothetical principal at a campus as you respond to the issues related to the Agricultural Science Program found in the letter of concern by the hypothetical superintendent. As in the last strategic problem-solving assignment, the letter is found in the resource packet.

In this week’s activity,  prepare a four-paragraph written memo that addresses the following prescribed actions (superintendent directives):

a) Develop and share a new system of gathering, evaluating, and reporting data to appropriate stakeholders regarding the measurement of continuous, sustainable improvement in student achievement and adherence to legal, ethical and equity issues; (NELP 6.3)

VERY IMPORTANT RUBRIC REQUIREMENT

– The new system of gathering and reporting data must reflectively evaluate program improvement and communicate about compliance with laws, rights, policies, and regulations that promote sustainable student success.

b) Reflectively evaluate the situational issues presented and share efforts to develop student leadership/capacity focused on avoiding ethical and equity breeches. (NELP 6.3)

c) Identify and report needed resources to monitor sustained improvement and adherence to laws, policies, and regulations. (NELP 6.3)

Week 4 BUILDING BLOCKS
