NEXT MEETING ____________________________________________
Monday, April 8- 12:00 noon
The Clarion
Hotel
Topic: Improved Student Learning - Glenda Russel
The program will be presented by Glenda Russel, a teacher with 30
years of experience in the Tennessee public school system. Ms. Russel has
developed a system to understand student test scores, design suitable
curriculum, improve instruction skills, and achieve higher learning in the
classroom. PAMS, Personalized Assessment Management System, has helped improve
student learning in many Tennessee school systems. By tracking student
objectives weekly, teachers will be able to pinpoint specific skills that need
to be enhanced/re-taught before the weakness becomes detrimental to future
learning. PAMS also allows the teacher to self-evaluate the effectiveness of his
or her own teaching strategies. Ms. Russel is a former math teacher, but her
program addresses all curriculums.
