| Description | Salem High School is committed to ongoing transformation of the student and staff experiences. The Student Support Design Committee will lead the work of defining and designing the multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) and the student support team (SST) process for 2020-2021. In addition, the committee will contribute to piloting new 19-20 SST collaboration processes and protocols at grades 9-10 and 11-12. The committee will also regularly review and respond to the early warning indicators of attendance, behavior and course grades.
The committee is accountable for growth towards the measurable annual goals of the Turnaround Plan, especially benchmarks for practice #3 (student specific supports and instruction to all students) and measurable annual goals for attendance and behavior found in practice #4. If you are interested in leading and contributing to the ongoing redesign efforts at Salem High School, this opportunity may be of interest to you.
