Spring 2014

The CSI leadership and committee structure underwent a major change throughout the SY 2012-13. A new committee structure was put into place in which each committee addressed specific aspects of the AdvancED standards. The CSI Leadership Team determined that seven committees were to be established as follows: External Climate, Internal Climate, Professional Development, Instructional Design, Classroom Based Assessment, Resources and Behavioral Support, and Using Data to Drive Instruction (Data Team). Each committee was led by a faculty member and this faculty member also represented a grade level or group of specialists on the CSI Leadership Team. Monthly meetings were held with this group in conjunction with administration and the FEA representative. The CSI leaders worked with their assigned committees throughout the year and grade levels during common planning. Committee membership was spread across grade levels so that all committees had a representative from every grade level and specialist group. Committees will stay consistent for SY 2012-13.
