Contact Information
I can be reached via phone before school, and sometimes at lunch. My extension is #40 if you get into the answering system.
I can also be reached via e-mail. In an efffort to control spam, staff e-mail addresses are not published on our websites, but it is listed in the the school directory you should have received, and is available on request if you don't already have it.
General Information
As the Learning Specialist serving identified Gifted and Talented students at Cañon Elementary, I collaborate with classroom teachers to provide a challenging academic program for students. This collaboration is in the form of enrichment opportunities, classroom differentiation, including projects or independent learning contracts, and pull-out groups for specific content areas.
Grades
The groups that I pull out of the classroom should expect to be graded the same as in their classroom. For example, if each assignment is worth 5 points, quizes 10 points, and tests 20 points, then that is how I assign grades in my pull-out group for that particular subject.
I continue the classroom policy of late work and make-up work. If there is a perceived discretion in my grading or policies and the classroom teachers, I would like students to talk with me about this.
If I am offering a pull-out group for a content area, then I will assign grades, give these grades to the classroom teacher, and the classroom teacher then incorporates the grades with classroom work in the same content area, or uses the grade I assign on the report card.
