To: Kenilworth School District No. 38 Board of Education From: Dr. Crystal LeRoy, Superintendent/Chief School Business Official Date: November 12, 2018 Re: Superintendent’s Report Overview of Faculty and Staff Institute Day As a new practice, I would like to start sharing some of the professional growth experiences of the faculty and staff. I think it would be helpful for the Board of Education to have a better understanding of the research, training and leadership that contributes to the educational experience of a Sears student. We had an all faculty and staff institute day on October 25. The theme was Innovation. The first portion of the training included workshops on Canvas or SeeSaw. Faculty and staff then had the opportunity to choose from a variety of workshops. It is important to note that all of our workshops were faculty-led. I sincerely appreciate the leadership and commitment to professional growth from all of our administrators, faculty and staff. For additional detail on the workshops, please see the attached document, Innovation Institute Evening Workshop Descriptions. Discussion of the Portrait of Sears Graduate Background The Portrait of a Graduate serves as a guiding document for system transformation. Along with the District’s strategic plan, the Portrait of a Sears Graduate articulates the strategic direction for the overall educational experience of students. The development of the Portrait will reinvigorate and re-engage students, teachers and community stakeholders in partnering with The Joseph Sears School. Development The development of The Portrait of a Sears Graduate began in September 2018. The Joseph Sears School Community Advisory Committee – a representative group of Sears alumni, parents, Kenilworth residents and teachers – discussed their shared hopes and expectations for students upon graduating from The Joseph Sears School. Using the District’s mission statement, vision and educational philosophy as their guiding framework, the JSSCAC identified more than 40 important traits and characteristics of a Sears graduate. The Administration categorized the traits into four broad categories, which formed the basis of the Portrait of a Graduate.
The Administration presented the draft Portrait of a Sears Graduate to faculty and staff for review during an all-faculty and staff meeting. Staff reviewed then discussed the Portrait of a Sears Graduate before beginning the work of listing specific competencies and traits of a Sears Educator. The Administrative Cabinet collectively reviewed and edited the Portrait of a Sears Graduate before presenting the initial draft of the Portrait to the Board of Education for review in October 2018. At the request of the Board through the Strategic Planning/Communications Subcommittee, the Cabinet later reconvened to review and document the research, educational expertise and relevant pedagogy behind the Portrait. For your convenience, the related research is included in this memo. Portrait of a Sears Graduate The Portrait of a Sears Graduate encompasses the research, thinking, traits and ideas as stated below:
Fearless Learner
“Sears graduates enjoy new challenges and are eager to learn from their mistakes.”
A Sears graduate understands that making mistakes and growing from those mistakes is a natural and exciting part of the learning process. A Sears graduate is comfortable taking on challenges and is able to find value from the experiences gained through successes and failures.
• Mental strength • Learning through failure • Adaptability
Expert/Researcher What they’re saying Tony Wagner, Harvard Graduate School of Education Co-director of the Change Leadership Group
(Wager) lined out in his book, “The Global Achievement Gap,” a set of competencies that every student must master before the end of high school:
• Critical thinking and problem solving • Collaborating across networks and leading by influence • Agility and adaptability • Initiative and entrepreneurialism • Accessing and analyzing information • Effective written and oral communication • Curiosity and imagination
“We penalize mistakes,” says Wagner. “The whole challenge in
schooling is to figure out what the teacher wants. And the teachers have to figure out what the superintendent wants or the state wants. It’s a compliance-driven, risk-averse culture.” Innovation, on the other hand, is grounded in taking risks and learning via trial and error. Educators could take a note from design firm IDEO with its mantra of “Fail early, fail often,” says Wagner. And at Stanford’s Institute of Design, he says they are considering ideas like, “We’re thinking F is the new A.” Without failure, there is no innovation.

Richard Curwin, Edtopia
“The problem for students is not that they make mistakes. The real problem is that teachers don't use those mistakes to allow and promote learning. Because shame is currently attached to mistakes, students are afraid to take chances, explore, and think for themselves. As a clear example of how damaging this view can be, look at the makeup of most gifted and talented programs. In far too many schools, the students in these classes are not the most creative risk takers or unique thinkers. They are the students who scored the highest on standardized tests. Therefore, we label as gifted or talented the students who make the fewest mistakes. I believe that it's a mistake to think of mistakes as something bad. When mistakes become learning opportunities, everything changes. Students take more risks, think in new ways, cheat less, and solve mysteries that had previously eluded them.” (https://www.edutopia.org/blog/use-mistakes-in-learning-process-richard-curwin) (2014)
Creative Thinker “Sears graduates are brave and innovative thinkers.”
A Sears graduate possesses the ability to think critically and creatively about concepts as they relate to themselves, their ideas, their beliefs and their surroundings.
Expert/Researcher What they’re saying Amanda Lang, noted author and business journalist
In an educational system in which productivity is measured by hours logged per task, number of worksheets completed and scores on standardized tests, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to prompt kids to ask more questions unless the questions are about what’s going to be on the test. In many classrooms, stopping to encourage and mull over questions that aren’t procedural or directly related to the material at hand is viewed as wasting time. It’s no big surprise then that most kids come to school bursting with questions, but exit, a dozen or so years later, asking very few. Curiosity declines from one grade to the next, and the reason isn’t that kids’ thirst for knowledge has been satiated and they now know everything they want or need to know. Lang, Amanda (2012) The Power of Why New York City, NY Harper Collins (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00851M4I2/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1) (2012)
Dr. Yong Zhao, Foundation Distinguished Professor in the School of Education at The University of Kansas
Dr. Zhao argues that creativity is the key to understanding all human behavior and learning. In fact, he suggests that creativity is so essential to the human experience that it can be considered the genesis of all learning, in every area and across every discipline. As he said in the interview: “I have come to appreciate creativity as the foundation of human behavior and human learning...So in every area, educational policy, language learning, global competency—all involve a form of creativity.” “We need to create opportunities for children to exercise their creativity, to refine their creativity, by creating things that matter to other people to make lives better for others, to better the world, to pursue a purpose bigger than themselves.” – Dr. Yong Zhao Richardson, Carmen; Henriksen, Danah; Mishra, Punya (The Deep-Play Research Group, Arizona State University and Michigan State University) (2017, September 6) Rethinking Technology & Creativity in the 21st Century: An Interview with Dr. Yong Zhao.

Dr. Ken Robinson, educational leader,
Yong Zhao is presidential chair and director of the Institute for Global and Online Education in the College of Education at the University of
advocate and speaker Oregon. He calculates that in the 28 years from 1977 and 2005, more than a million jobs annually disappeared from existing firms in the United States. During that same time, new firms created more than three million jobs a year. Many of these new jobs needed significantly different skill sets from the old, lost jobs – and there was very little advance warning over what those skill sets might be. The work went to employees who had refined those talents already and to people with the creative and entrepreneurial ability to make career and training adjustments. Robinson, Ken Ph.D., (2015 April 21) Creative Schools: The Grassroots Revolution That’s Transforming Education, Penguin Random House, LLC (https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Schools-Grassroots-Revolution-Transforming/dp/0670016713) (2015)
Courageous Advocate
“Sears graduates demonstrate empathy by advocating for themselves and others.” A Sears graduate exhibits bravery when advocating for themselves and others. A Sears graduate possesses the strength to support causes and interests that align with their core values.
• Independence • Communication and leadership skills • Advocacy
• Self confidence • Resilience • Service learning
Expert/Researcher What they’re saying Judith Witmer and Carolyn Anderson, authors
The responsibility for teaching students how to make ethical decisions is not reserved for philosophers or psychologists. It sits squarely in the laps of all who guide young people. Both moral reasoning (learning to think about experiences—“why” something happened and “why” a person acts in certain ways) and ethical decision making (the “should” part of making decisions) can be taught with a well-designed service learning program. Service learning outcomes are very much like the goals established by all successful schools. Service learning is simply a better way to do the things good schools have always done. The following goals, practiced by most effective schools, are also goals met by service learning programs:
• intellectual development (e.g., problem solving) • basic skills acquisition (e.g., communication) • moral and ethical development • social and civic responsibility • career preparation • multicultural understanding • personal growth
Witmer, Judith; Anderson, Carolyn (1994) How to Establish a High School Service Learning Program. Retrieved from http://www.ascd.org/publications/books/194167/chapters/The-Purpose-and-Goals-of-Service-Learning.aspx
Dr. Peter DeWitt, noted author, researcher, advocate and public speaker
Many students get caught up in their own lives, and their importance often revolves around friends, family, sports or academics. Through service learning students can see their part in the larger community and learn why it is important to help others. In addition, if the projects involve helping out people in third world countries, students may see that their lives are not as bad as they may think. Service learning projects can be life changing for students. They learn empathy for others, and may even get the real life experience they need which will inspire them to find a career. Through helping others students may find that they want to go into the human services field or even go more global by joining the Peace Corps.

Leah Shafer, research author, Harvard Graduate School of Education
When schools give students the agency and the tools to speak out, the effects can resonate across students’ lives. The process of becoming engaged as active partners can give young people a set of strategies they can use to create positive change in future classrooms or communities. And when they form authentic partnerships with teachers and school administrators, it can set the stage for lasting bonds and important mentoring relationships. Shafer, Leah (2016, August 18) Giving Students a Voice. Retrieved from https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/uk/16/08/giving-students-voice
“Sears graduates better their communities by modeling the Four Cornerstones.”
A Sears graduate embodies the virtues of Responsibility, Kindness, Honesty and Respect. A Sears graduate makes informed decisions to the benefit of themselves, their community and those around them.
• Responsibility, Kindness, Honesty, Respect
• Cultural awareness • Environmental awareness
• Listeners • Collaborators • Empathizers
Expert/Researcher What they’re saying Dr. Carol Ann Tomlinson and Michael Murphy, noted educators, authors and field experts
Among other expectations, it is reasonable to assume that understanding, appreciating, and addressing people's feelings, needs, and perspectives could lead to more opportunities for teachers to share successes and concerns with colleagues and leaders; more collaborative relationships between teachers and parents; greater student voice; fewer incidences of bullying; and a curriculum and instructional style that foster a love for learning.

Thomas Hoerr, author, educational consultant, emeritus head of school at the New City School, teacher at University of Missouri-St. Louis
We need to create a school climate in which everyone consciously works to listen and understand others' perspectives. Doing this is about more than creating a pleasant environment; it's about teaching students what they will need to succeed. Yes, we must ensure that our graduates achieve scholastically, but that's not enough. Our students need to be prepared to succeed in life—and an important piece of that is the ability to work with and appreciate others. We could all benefit from greater empathy, and we should work to develop it in our schools. Hoerr, Thomas (2018 April) Educational Leadership – Principal Connection / Building Empathy in Schools.

Next Steps The Portrait of Sears Graduate will be used to inform instruction. The portrait further articulates the strategic direction for the overall educational experience of the students. The development of the Portrait is intended to reinvigorate and re-engage students, teachers, and community stakeholders in partnering with The Joseph Sears School. While I am not seeking formal Board approval, I would like to ensure the Board is in agreement that the Portrait of Sears Graduate is in alignment with the District’s strategic direction.

To: Kenilworth School District No. 38 Board of Education From: Dr. Crystal LeRoy, Superintendent/Chief School Business Official Date: November 12, 2018 Re: 2018 Estimate of Tax Levy Background Information
Adopting a levy on an annual basis is one of the major functions of our Board of Education. Excluding the State’s on-behalf payment, residential property taxes generate approximately 94% of all revenues for the District.
Commonly used terms during the levy adoption process are:
Levy
• The formal request by a school district for a certain amount of revenue to be generated by the property tax. This formal request must be sent to the County Clerk prior to the last Tuesday in December. The levy determines the total amount to be raised by property taxes.
Extension
• The process in which the County Clerk determines the tax rate needed to raise the revenue (levy) certified by each taxing district in the county.
• The actual dollar amount billed to property taxpayers in a district.
Equalized Assessed Value
• The assessed value multiplied by the state equalization factor (the multiplier), which is determined by the Department of Revenue; this gives the property value from which the tax rate is calculated after deducting exemptions.
New Growth
• New improvements or additions to existing buildings on any parcel of real property that increased the assessed value of that real property during the levy year. It does not include maintenance and repairs. The value of the new property is limited to the actual assessed value added by the new improvement multiplied by the state equalization factor.
Truth in Taxation Act
The Truth in Taxation Act (Public Act 88-455) requires Boards of Education to determine the amount of money to be raised by property taxes not less than 20 days prior to the adoption of the aggregate tax levy.
If the estimate of the aggregate tax levy (excluding Debt Service levy) exceeds 105% of the amount extended the previous year then, a public hearing must be held prior to the levy adoption.
The notice for the hearing must be published in a local newspaper (no more than 14 days and no less that 7 days) prior to the date of any such hearing. Based on the current 2018 Levy Estimate, a Truth in Taxation hearing is not required. However, it is a common practice for school districts to hold a Truth in Taxation hearing even if the amount of the request is below the legal limit (105% of prior year extension).
At the December board meeting, the Board will be asked to certify that it has complied with the regulations of the Truth in Taxation Act.
Based on these requirements, the following levy calendar calls for determination of a proposed levy at the November 12th Board of Education meeting.
November 12, 2018 Board of Education meeting. Review 2018 Levy material. Determine amount of proposed levy. This determination must not be made less than 20 days prior to the levy adoption.
November 29, 2018 Prescribed form of notice of public hearing must be published in a newspaper with general circulation within the school district no more than fourteen nor less than seven days prior to the public hearing. (Optional)
December 10, 2018 Scheduled Board of Education meeting. Public hearing on proposed 2018 levy at 7:30 p.m. and adoption of 2018 levy.
December 24, 2018 Last day to file 2018 levy with the Cook County Clerk.
Summary
The estimated levy is based upon several variables including the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the value of new construction, the county multiplier, and the Limiting Rate calculation. The CPI has been determined to increase 2.1% over the prior year’s final extension; the other variables have to be finalized. All assumptions were based on the analysis of historical data, local trends and future projections. For your review, attached is the 2018 Levy Worksheet Estimate. The Administration recommends your favorable approval to establish the Tax Year 2018 Estimate of Levy.

To: Kenilworth School District No. 38 Board of Education Dr. Crystal LeRoy, Superintendent/CSBO From: Dr. LeViis Haney, Interim Principal Date: November 12, 2018 Re: Principal’s Report Enrollment Report We have 476 students currently enrolled at The Joseph Sears School. Enrollment has decreased by two students since last month’s report. Enrollment still exceeds the Kasarda Report median projection total (453 students). Pick Up/Drop Off Routines We will be reminding parents to refrain from parking south of the drop off zone when dropping off and picking up students. Teacher parking spaces are being blocked, and parking for teachers is very sparse. Second Cup of Coffee Presentation Series I am excited to be leading the first of our Second Cup of Coffee conversations this Wednesday, November 14th. We will host two sessions with the same material from 8:30am - 9:30am, and 6:30pm - 7:30pm. The topic of our first conversation is Bullying. The goals of this presentation is to review concepts of bullying: what bullying is (and isn’t), why bullying occurs and what we are doing about it as an organization. After the presentation, a dialogue will be opened to invite discussion. Thank you for all of your support! I have worked with so many families over the course of this school year and I so greatly appreciate the support that I have received in working through issues.
Fall Student Achievement & Growth ReportNovember 2018
Assessment
§ the evaluation or estimation of the nature, quality, or ability of someone or something
§ Purpose Matters− Formative: serving to form something (Growth)− Summative: additive or cumulative
(Achievement/Proficiency)
Comprehensive Assessment Profile
§ The assessment system employed at the Joseph Sears School includes a wide variety of both formative and summative assessments. − Formative: MAP, AIMSweb, F & P, unit quizzes, observational
*PARCC is now measuring growth on that assessment** We will be working on developing assessments to measure our strategic plan (Curiosity, Creativity, Personal Well Being…)
Talking about Data
§ Norms:− Student achievement and growth data are all of of ours to
analyze and own− Each data point should be taken as such – one data point,
one photo in the photo album− Assessment anxiety and apathy are real and influence
results− Data should be used to support growth of the individual
student and the organization as a whole− Data discussions should be focused on learning and action
plans not on individuals or teams of individuals
PARCC
§ 4 years of data§ State accountability measure for growth and
achievement or proficiency§ Standards-based§ Performance Measure
− Writing− Explanation− Deeper & More Rigorous than assessments in the past used
for the same purpose
Strengths of PARCC Data
§ Standards-based§ Length of test increases reliability of results§ Informative for programmatic/systemic review§ Performance measure requires students to show their
thinking
Challenges
§ Inconsistent Implementation− Test Format/Presentation (Paper/Computer)
§ Reliability of “Grading” § Results received after students have exited§ Unpredictability of Future Assessments
PARCC, Cont.
§ Individual Levels− Level 1: Did not yet meet expectations− Level 2: Partially met expectations− Level 3: Approached expectations− Level 4: Met expectations− Level 5: Exceeded expectations

PARCC
Q & A
NWEA – Measures of Academic Progress
§ 4 years of data for JSS (Approximately 20 years of student data in Norm Groups)
§ Formative Assessment (Growth)§ Gives a proficiency level (based on a norm group)§ Standards-based but Adaptive§ Not a Performance Measure
− High level overview of skills− No writing component or explanation of thinking
Elements of MAP Data§ RIT Score – “RIT” is an abbreviation for “Rausch Unit.” The difficulty and
complexity of each MAP assessment question is measured using the RIT scale. A student's RIT score indicates the level at which the student was answering questions correctly 50% of the time. These scores are available to us as “Overall” and broken down into sub-strands for Reading/Math/Language Usage
§ National Percentile - The percentile rank indicates how well a student performed in comparison to the students in the specific norm group, for example, in the same grade and subject. A student's percentile rank indicates that the student scored as well as, or better than, the percent of students in the norm group. For example, a student scoring at the 35th percentile scored as well as, or better than, 35 percent of students in the norm group. It also means that 65 percent of the students in the norm group exceeded this score.
Elements of MAP Data
§ Projected Growth/Growth Targets - MAP provides data around the typical growth for students who are in the same grade, subject, and have the same starting achievement level (RIT score). This data is often used to help students set goals and understand what they need to learn to achieve their goals.
§ Conditional Growth Percentile - a student’s percentile rank for growth. If a student’s CGP is 50, this means that the student’s growth was greater than 50 percent of similar students in the NWEA norm group. Students are similar with regard to starting achievement level, grade, subject area, and number of instructional weeks between test events.
Strengths of MAP Data
§ Large database gives reliable results and ability to predict achievement
§ Shorter to administer and given multiple times a year § More timely feedback§ Data comes with instructional resources to support
movement through the RIT bands
Challenges of MAP Data
§ Inconsistent Implementation at JSS− Daily Test Schedules – AM/PM− Test Duration− Make up and Retake Procedures− Seasons Tested− Implementation of Accommodations− Communication About Testing− Preparing for Logistics
Challenges of MAP Data (Cont.)
• Adaptive – High level questions assess material that is not part of core curriculum
• Not a performance measure – does not require a student to show their thinking
• Testing apathy from multiple administrations for multiple consecutive years
• Becoming more high stakes – increase in test anxiety reducing the reliability of the data

Pending approval by Board of Education scheduled for November 12, 2018
To: Kenilworth School District 38 Board of Education From: Dr. Crystal LeRoy, Superintendent/Chief School Business Official Date: November 12, 2018 Re: Proposed 2019-2020 School Fee Schedule The attached Proposed 2019-20 School Fee Schedule outlines the various fees for the school year. The proposed fee schedule recommends that the 2019-20 school fees remain flat at the current 2018-19 rates. Excluding expenditures related to future facility renovation work, the 2018-19 Budget is nearly balanced.
Based on the projected 2019-20 Budget, the fees are at a reasonable level that will help offset the various program expenses. If the Board of Education deems that additional adjustments are necessary, changes can be presented in the form of an amendment to the Proposed 2019-2020 School Fee Schedule prior to approval. The Administration recommends your favorable approval of the Proposed 2019-2020 School Fee Schedule. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me for further discussion.
