I completed documentation needed for the PLC and filled out the MLE forms for our group. For Verticle PLCs I also took charge to make sure our PLC data forms were filled out as well as MLE forms to prove implemetnation of personalized and blended learning.

GT Testing/ Identification Coordinator |
I have taken on the role at the Longview University Academy to identify Gifted and Talented Students in the Elementary Grades 1st through 5th. Classroom teacher nominated younger students to become identified as Gifted and Talented, so our campus will be able to continue to have a growing GT sub pop through our middle level and high school grades. In the past I had created a formal nomination letter for parents to allow us to screen their child. I have colleced data though a GT screening that involves the identification of a student’s ability through testing, teacher input, parent survey and student interviews to support gifted potential.
