ESAIL SCHEDULE: 

The ESAIL (Environmental Scale for Assessing Implementation Levels) will take place this week on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. This data will also give us valuable feedback to plan professional development and SIP action steps for next school year.  Refer to Tara Dakins' Feb. 1st email for more information.

Most importantly, remember that the ESAIL in non-evaluative, nor is perfection expected.  We are looking for trends and patterns across grade levels and across the school. 

We have split the ESAIL out across the week.  Our goal is to get in the following rooms on the days listed in the chart below. 

Feb. 10 Afternoon	Feb 11 Morning
McKinnon	Dakins
VandeVoort	Kruchoski
Owen	Gill
Jozwiak/Ponte	Kieckhafer
VanAsten	Gaines
Ritzke	Dercks
Durant	Wiedenhaupt
Steinacker	Cooksey
Muellenbach	Milledge
Herlache	B/W
Sprangers	Walker
	Koenig
	Rosenbeck

 

Please remember that the ESAIL is all about our school’s journey.  Perfection is not the expectation, but rather the ESAIL is a tool to help us grow together toward our implementation of the PCL model and our school improvement goals.
