Greenwave Academic Performance (GAP or "G-Block") and Teachers As Advisors (TAA) Schedule

Hello, Everyone!
Here is the message sent to us from Mrs. Miranda Banks, Assistant Principal of Curriculum and Instruction:

Explain to students that on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday they are to report to the instructional location where they have been escorted (ELA and Mathematics). Wednesday is HOMEROOM/TEACHERS AS ADVISORS day. They are to report to their regular homeroom teacher. G-Day teacher will assist homeroom teacher with homeroom on Wednesdays. In essence, G-Day and G-Block teachers will share those students all year.

Here is the information from the School Improvement Grant (SIG) on the Teachers As Advisors (TAA) Program (Wednesdays):

The TAA program is an effort to:

• Support high expectations for students;
• Guide the process for expanding opportunities for students to set goals;
• Teach goal-setting strategies; and
• Produce each student's Five-Year Academic Plan. 
• The customized Five-Year plan is for all four years of high school, plus one year of the student's post-secondary educational, military, or career options. 
• The TAA program is supposed to increase post-secondary enrollment rates by students in the district, thereby building academic capacity.

More information/job-embedded Professional Learning from the Georgia Department of Education is forthcoming on this; Mrs. Tatmon and the Guidance Department have been working diligently on providing the teachers with activities.  I hope this information helps to clarify any confusion during the G-Block session. 

Take Care,
Kim
