The teachers met this week in their TBTs to use their student data (EOC from last spring and STAR CBMs from this fall) to determine student needs and next steps for classroom instruction and interventions.  In the second session of PPL, teachers met in subject teams to take a vertical look at data from last year's State tests. They will meet in these groups once a month to work through Learning Standards, our curriculum (new for Reading/ELA teachers, this year), and data across grade levels to identify strengths and gaps in instruction over time.

This year Paulding Junior High School will be collecting money to help construct the Veterans' Memorial that will be located in Paulding, Ohio. On Monday, September 9th members of the Paulding VFW presented to all PJHS students the importance of honoring our veterans, what the veterans' memorial is going to look like, and how the students of PJHS can help with this project. Shown in the picture are two members of the Paulding VFW with a collection of PJHS students that attended the assembly.

On Saturday, September 7th the Paulding Junior High School 8th grade volleyball team won the Archbold Volleyball Invitational. Shown in the picture are members of the 8th-grade volleyball team. The team would like to dedicate this championship to the memory of Ross Myers.

PEVS had a very successful first Panther Professional Learning Day on Wednesday.  For the teaching staff, the 2-hour PPL was divided into two sessions.  In one session, Mr. Rodney Harrelson, a collaborative leadership consultant, continued his August 14 presentation on developing highly effective work-based teams.  In the other session, teachers worked in their grade-level Teacher Based Teams (TBTs) to analyze and discuss student assessment data in order to identify students' strengths and needs.  The paraprofessionals began a video course and group discussion on Conscious Discipline by Becky Bailey, which will continue for the next ~12 weeks. 

We will continue to use the data we gather from student assessments during our grade-level TBT meetings next week.  In addition, we will also spend time in subject teams (ELA, Math, Science, Music, etc.) next week where we will begin the journey of better understanding the vertical alignment of content standards and where there are gaps for our students, starting with analyzing district assessment data.
