---Lunch Break

5. 1:00 PM Dianne Ford –These specific questions have been brought forward, but she is open to questions from the floor as well. a. In rural SK we have difficulty getting EA subs, as well as teacher subs. Is the division willing to change or simplify the application process to accommodate the shortage of subs? b. How is special education staffing in schools determined? Is there a “formula” of some kind? c. Could you please clarify what the role of student services teachers is with respect to educational assistants, as you see it, especially our involvement in the supervision process? My understanding is that you feel the principals are to take the lead on this, and consult with us for feedback, but this is not what is happening in most schools, and is likely not that realistic. 6. Student Services Teacher supervision rubric (Gail Csada) 7. 2:00 PM - Use of SMART boards – presentation by Linda Nelson 8. 2:30 – 3:00 Half-hour group meetings: elementary, high school, learning lab, laptops. Use this meeting time to discuss any problems/issues you are having, or to share resources or techniques that have worked well for you. Laptop group - a person from the technology department has been invited to attend the meeting to answer questions about our laptops. There has been no confirmation of attendance at this point, but it is hoped that those of us with laptop issues will be able to meet as a small group to get our problems solved. **Next meeting: March 31 10:00 AM NBCHS large lecture theater.** Student Services Teachers Meeting Agenda March 31 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM North Battleford Comprehensive High School - Large Lecture Theater Minute taker and distributor – Michelle Ramsay Facilitator(s) – Kim Dyck, Gail Csada
