SY2013-2014 Focus Group Members

PREFACE
Under the direction of the new Superintendent, a district-wide shift in school administrators brought a new principal to Wettengel Elementary School (WES). With the new principal, the WASC leadership team was reorganized. All faculty and staff were assigned to their Focus Groups (FG). Each group brainstormed samples of evidences that related to their critical areas that needed to be addressed. Focus groups gave input regarding the development of the school and has been meeting regularly.
The first Professional Development Day (PDD) was held on September 20, 2013. The members met in their respective groups to begin organizing their report and findings. With approval from the Superintendent, WES was awarded several half-day work sessions to work on the Accreditation process. In addition, the Leadership Team met regularly to ensure documents were collected, and issues were addressed. The team distributed information and facilitated further collaboration within their respective Focus Groups.
It has been eleven years since our first Self-Study was completed and endorsed with a six year term. And since then, WES has experienced peaks and valleys in identifying their strengths and weaknesses.
During these eleven years, WES has been implementing the Reform Program-Direct Instruction (DI) as the operational curriculum, concurrently with the Guam’s district Content Standards and Performance Indicators (CSPIs). However, previous WASC visits had indicated that a comprehensive curriculum was lacking due to the implementation of DI.
In SY2011-2012, Common Core State Standards (CCSS) were adopted by the Guam Education Board (GEB) and introduced to the schools, with full implementation scheduled for SY2014-2015. WES began its initial transition from the DI Math Program to the CCSS Mathematics in the second semester of SY 2012-2013. However, it has been a difficult and challenging process to shift from the Direct Instruction Program, a prescriptive and teacher directed program to the CCSS. Since the introduction of the CCSS, the district has provided training on a regular basis for faculty and administrators to assist in the implementation of the CCSS.
It is evident that WES needs to harness the “collaborative energy” if you will; of every faculty and staff member alongside the administration to further student learning and achievement. WES is hoping that in doing so, the criterion set forth by WASC becomes embedded in the school culture.
