Topic: Understanding 2025 MCAS Results and Literacy Pilot Updates.
At this month's meeting, Dr. Carmen Williams, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction and Innovation will review how special education students performed on this year's MCAS. She will discuss how the district utilizes this data, along with other assessments, to measure progress and refine approaches to supporting students with disabilities.
Additionally Dr. Williams will provide an update on the elementary literacy pilot. We will hear how the district is working to improve elementary literacy instruction for all students, including those receiving tier 2 or tier 3 reading and writing instruction.
Stephanie Wyman, Executive Director of Special Education, will provide an update on the ILC Planning Committee during the meeting.
All parents and guardians are encouraged to attend our monthly meetings where the district administrators update us on what is happening within special education in Needham, listen to feedback, and answer questions.
Meetings often feature a presentation or deeper discussion on how a particular program or policy applies to our students, led typically by a district or town representative. The end of the meetings provide time for parent-only discussion to share experiences, concerns and resources in a safe and supportive environment.
We welcome questions in advance, co-chairs@needhamsepac.org
