37 <br /> Slide #44 <br /> What Teachers Are Saying About AIM <br /> "Being a part of this AIMS course has shifted my teaching <br /> style from teacher centered to student centered. When <br /> planning lessons my overarching goal is for students to <br /> understand the "why" verses the "how". I have also <br /> enjoyed getting my students talking and their <br /> mathematical thinking with the math talk chain. It has <br /> allowed my students to really self reflect and listen to what <br /> their peers are saying and add on to the discussion." <br /> ch,pdxi--am clv—d, cnms.wg THINK(AND ACT) <br /> Slide #45 <br /> Est.1909 <br /> STRATEGIC PLAN <br /> 2022-2027 <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said she likes the academic return on investment perspective. <br /> She asked if the district could provide information to the Board on programs that worked and <br /> those that did not. She said she supports their mental health efforts. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said the presentation was very good and well organized. She asked <br /> if they knew the state increases on BOY and MOY. <br /> Dr. Trice said he could provide that information to the Board at a later date. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said that mental health is a big issue and she asked if the co-located <br /> professionals are funded. <br /> Dr. Banks said there are MOUs with the three agencies, but uninsured students can <br /> receive services pro-bono. She said that the mental health professionals are funded and all, but <br /> two positions are filled, and interviews are scheduled next Friday. She said the EC Department is <br /> 87% filled for certified and 88% for classified. She said they staff for much lower ratios in EC <br /> classrooms than the state average. <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked how students access the mental health services. <br /> Dr. Banks said they are part of student support services. She said that they go through <br /> the social worker and that students are able to reach out for help and staff may also identify <br /> student needs. She said the mental health specialists work with other specialists. <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked how often students are using the R3 spaces. <br /> Dr. Banks said she does not have it with her, but she can get that information to the Board. <br />
