Happy valentine's Day from Haskin Elementary!

Polyhedra are beautiful 3-D geometrical figures that have fascinated philosophers, mathematicians and artists for millennia. Fourth-grade mathematicians at Haskin Elementary created polyhedra with a guest speaker last week on Valentine's Day. In geometry, a polyhedron is traditionally a three-dimensional shape that is made up of a finite number of polygonal faces. Cubes, prisms and pyramids are all examples of polyhedra.
next steps in teacher evaluation Student growth:
Senate Bill 10-191, the Great Teachers and Leaders Act, shares this focus on learning, ensuring all students have outstanding teachers and leaders who work together to improve learning outcomes for all students. S.B. 10-191 requires educators to be evaluated annually with 50% of their overall rating based on student growth, or student learning outcomes. There are four requirements for attributing student outcomes in educator evaluation listed below. These requirements are not mutually exclusive (satisfying one requirement might satisfy another).1. One or more measures of individually attributed student learning outcomes 2. One or more measures of collectively attributed student learning outcomes 3. When available, statewide summative assessment results 4. When statewide summative assessments occur in consecutive years, Colorado Growth Model results. ( Individual attribution refers to student learning outcomes on a measure that are attributed to an individual licensed person (e.g. Reading student learning outcomes for a 1st grade teacher’s students). Collective attribution refers to student learning outcomes on a measure that are attributed to two or more licensed persons (e.g. 10th grade math TCAP growth– all secondary math teachers in school). In the next few weeks, Haskin Elementary teachers and administration will work toward determining the 50% student growth or student learning outcomes portion of teacher and principal evaluations.
