Students, Teachers and ParentsLearning for a Lifetime!
May 10, 2014
Dear Students, Teachers, Parents and School Community:
Hainerberg is proud to announce that on Thursday afternoon in an out-brief presentation by the schools visiting AdvancED accreditation team, the team recommended that Hainerberg Elementary School be accredited pending further review and final action by the AdvancED Accreditation Commission.
The goal of AdvancED is to build capacity within our school to improve and sustain student learning. Their role is to help stimulate and improve effectiveness and efficiency throughout the institution. During the visit three areas were analyzed and evaluated: impact of teaching and learning, leadership capacity and resource utilization.
The team provided valuable feedback and direction for improvement to our school. The team was able to interview 56 parents and community members. The lead shared that this was a very high number of participants as most schools have less than 20. We are so thankful for your time and willingness to come and share your impression of the school along with your suggestions for improvement.
The team identified three powerful practices within the school. 1. The school has established a focused process for setting and acknowledging student behavioral expectations as outlined in the Hainerberg High Five Heroes Program. 2. Teachers have opportunities to participate in mentoring, co-teaching, and coaching initiatives to discuss current practices and ways that instruction might be improved. 3. Students, teachers, and parents have access to exceptional collections of media and information resources in digital and non-digital formats in the media center as well as in all classrooms.
The team also outlined three required actions that the school will address over the next two years. 1. Extend and refine the current collaborative leadership model to consistently engage all stakeholders in effectively supporting the schools purpose and direction.
