In our final installment of highlighting the 10 Features of the Partnerships in Comprehensive Literacy (PCL) model in SDW we highlight Feature #2 - Model Classrooms and Feature #3 - Coaching & Mentoring. We hope our sharing over the past few weeks on how the 10 Features look and are utilized across our district has added to your understanding of our literacy model.
The School District of Waukesha strives to provide all professional staff with meaningful, engaging, and purposeful professional development opportunities that align to our district goals and priorities. To kick off the 2022-23 school year all professional staff will engage in professional learning at the SDW Summer Institute scheduled for August 24th and 25th. The design of the Summer Institute has shifted to allow time to focus on content area/role-specific professional learning, curriculum development, and intentional instructional planning across our system. There will be limited choice sessions at this year’s Summer Institute as our priority is to onboard new curriculum and resources across our system in grades K-12.
The Summer Institute 2022 will be hosted at three school sites which is a change from years past. The host sites are Waukesha North High School, Waukesha West High School and Butler Middle School. The Summer Institute 2022 website is now live and Sched is now available for registration. Please register for your sessions no later than Friday, June 10th. Specific locations and room assignments will be added to Sched closer to the event. If you have any questions or issues with registration please contact SIsupport@waukesha.k12.wi.us.
As we close out the 2021-22 school year and look forward to the summer months ahead. I wanted to thank you all for your continued dedication and for showing up for kids everyday. Working in the field of education is challenging and ever changing. However, despite it all, being an educator is the most rewarding profession out there. So be sure to take some time to reflect on this past school year and celebrate all of the great things you accomplished and take that with you into next year. I wish you all a well-deserved summer break full of fun adventures and relaxation. I’m looking forward to kicking off the 2022-23 school year in August with two days of impactful learning, purposeful planning and preparation and most importantly engaging with all of you. Again, have a great summer and we’ll see you back in August!

Wisconsin Educator Development Support and Retention Survey - Time Sensitive
Professional Educators,
Dear Wisconsin Educator,
It is the time of year for you to reflect on your experiences as a Wisconsin educator. By participating in the annual Wisconsin Educator Development Support and Retention Survey, you provide your school and district with crucial feedback about how to make your school and district work better for its educators and students. Also, this year, you are asked to provide feedback about a specific aspect of the Educator Effectiveness Process that will be changing next year. We need to hear from the folks in EE about how to make it work better for our educators and students.
Take the Survey
You make access the survey through our website, view sample reports, view the survey questions, and see past results at http://www.uwm.edu/sreed/
If you have any questions, please contact the evaluation team at ee_evaluation@uwm.edu, or DPI at Jacob.Hollnagel@dpi.wi.gov,
I certainly understand how busy you are. I sincerely hope you find the time to add your voice to this important process.
Warm regards,
Curtis
