2. Liaison
Mrs. Janowski read the following statement from Mrs. Gibbs.
"During the week of April vacation, I had the distinct privilege of chaperoning the seventh
grade students from Coolidge attending Nature's Classroom. Ms. dennalee Anderson,
English teacher, organized the entire trip and was in charge while we were there. The
students learned a great deal about their surroundings and science and history while there
during this once -in -a lifetime - opportunity as seventh graders.
As the horrific events unfolded on Marathon Monday, Ms. Anderson never waivered in her
commitment to the safety and emotional well -being ofall students, despite the fact that she
herself had family and friends who work and live within a block of the finish line.
During that week, Ms. Anderson kept her eye on the ball even as her city was under attack
and while she struggled with her own emotion, the students never for one second knew
anything was wrong or had happened in Boston Ms. Anderson did everything she could to
prevent anythingfrom marring the memories of the week for all the students.
When it came time to depart for Reading on Friday, Ms. Anderson needed to tell the students
that something had happened because we knew that the shelter in place signs were all over
the highway and the students would see them on our ride home. With admirable stoicism, on
each bus, she told the students what had happened and that everyone they love was safe and
that their families would be able to give them all the details when they gat home to Reading.
One student in the METCO program was particularly upset, and Ms. Anderson told her she
was as well, as Boston is her home too, and they would figure it out together as far as
logistics getting home that day.
I have nothing but respect and admiration for Ms. Anderson and her love for her charges
and the gravity with which she carried out her responsibilities in the face of uncertainty for
her own family and loved ones. I am grateful that Ms. Anderson is in our employ and is with
our students each and everyday. In the face of tragedy, I will hold Ms. Anderson in my mind
as the standard by which to conduct myselfwith my own students and hope that I can live up
to her example. "
Respectfully submitted,
Lisa Gibbs, Parent and School Committee Member

C. New Business
BYOD Presentation (Out of Order
Dr. Doherty gave a brief overview of the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiative that was
introduced last year. He indicated we are making significant progress now including students in
grade 7 through 12.
Marcia Grant, Technology Integrator at Coolidge continued with the presentation. Mrs. Grant
reviewed the benefits of the program which include improvements in attendance and discipline, a
broader array of learning resources and experiences, increases in student achievement and it
prepares our students more effectively for college and career skills. Most students have some
type of mobile device and this initiative allows for the shift to digital instructional materials
which saves money, extends access and improves student engagement.
The BYOD team is made up of administrators, the IT staff and technology coordinators and
teachers who are leaders of technology use in their classrooms. The teachers volunteered to
participate in the initiative. The allowed devices include laptops, netbooks, tablets/slates, iPod
touches, cell and smart phones. The devices must have wireless capability, anti-virus software
and an intemet browser. No gaming devices are allowed. The BYOD initiative uses a separate
wireless network. Students must submit an additional acceptable use agreement. Once that has
been received students are given a network user time and password.
Initial challenges included finding multi - platform free apps, students remembering to bring in
their device, professional development for staff and students that do not have devices. Students
concerns included damaging or losing their device, an invasion of privacy and they felt bad for
students that did not have a device. The students have been able to use alternate hardware to
complete projects, use more sophisticated software, and they collaborate more effectively, create
a more effective system of notes and have quicker access to information on the web.
Jennalee Anderson, English teacher at Coolidge, shared information on the positive impact the
BYOD initiative has had on level of motivation of special education students. She has seen a
decrease in absences since the induction of the program as well as an increase of time that
April 23, 2013
students remain on task. The quality of the students work has also improved because it is beyond
pen to paper. The students are using an interactive method of learning.
Janet Dee, RMHS Technology Integrator and Suvi Rajadurai, RMHS junior shared how the
initiative was working at the high school. Mrs. Dee explained how the BYOD initiative aligns
with the Common Core and P21 skills by making sense of problems and persevering to solve
them, reasoning abstractly and quantitatively, using appropriate tools strategically and attending
to precision. BYOD is changing the culture slowly.
Suvi Rajadurai shared his experience as a student. He said having a device that can be used in
school makes the whole process easier. Students are able to work on projects anytime during the
day with having to wait for a computer in the library. The BYOD is also provides a faster
connection. He is able to do homework afterschool hours and provides for a much more
independent learning experience.
Meg Powers, Technology Integrator at Parker shared the middle school experience. The BYOD
initiative is in year 2 at the middle schools. The first year was eighth grade only, this year grades
7 and 8 are included and the participation rate is approximately 40% of the eligible students.
Mrs. Powers said that the students often times work in groups because not all students bring
devices in to school.
Jake Barnett and Andy Spinelli, Parker teachers spoke of the value of BYOD. Whether it is
tracking assignments, gathering data and information or organizing their work the students really
benefit from the ability to use their own device. BYOD is gaining momentum at the middle
school level. Students are taking ownership of what they post and are being taught how to be
responsible users.
She introduced middle school students to share their experiences. Parker Middle School students
Jay Gallagher and Sean Conroy are using their devices in documentary film class and they are
able to work separately on the same documents and add all their notes on devices. Using the
device allows the students to be more organized.
Coolidge Middle School students Charley Donahue and Sean Margossian shared similar
experiences. Charley uses his device every day in all classes. Sean said he uses his iPad as his
agenda and helps him with his organizational skills. He also said he is able to type rather than
write his notes and assignments which makes the task much easier.
Kathy Santilli, Elementary Technology Integrator shared information of the use of iPads at the
elementary level. The fast 50 iPads to the district were distributed to the five schools. In the
Spring of 2012 schools that were interested in iPads were asked to submit proposals for the
2012 -2013 school year. Barrows, Birch Meadow, the two middle schools and the high school all
submitted proposals and acquired iPads. Funding for the devices came from the PTO and gift
accounts with some district funding. Future requests for iPads are to be approved using an
evaluation rubric outlining the criteria that is required for the purchase. Mrs. Santilli outlined the
pros and cons of the use of iPads in elementary classrooms. Increased student involvement,
opportunities for collaboration, more creativity and the chance to use critical thinking skills are
the positives. Obstacles faced by the teachers include app management across multiple devices,
students sharing devices and moving workflow from devices without using email. As the district
moves forward iPad purchases for Parker and RMHS will be funded by the Reading Education
Foundation through grants, the three remaining elementary schools will purchase iPads for the
April 23, 2013
2013 -14 school year, staff will be offered additional professional opportunities and the district
will investigate other mobile technologies.
Mrs. Janowski thanked the group for the presentation and appreciated the fact that the successes
and obstacles were shared.
Student Representative Traugot shared that he participates in the BYOD program and there
needs to be a push to increase participation.
Mr. Spadafora, Mr. Caruso and Mr. Croft left the meeting at 8:44 p.m. and returned at 8:46 p.m.
Parker Middle School Presentation
Mr. Lyons outlined tonight's presentation by the 7' grade team at Parker. He shared that the
team has developed a team goal which addresses writing. Tonight's presentation is "A Team
Approach to Writing"
Jane Costa began by sharing the goal that has been set by the team which is guided by the
Common Core Literacy frameworks. Mr. Spinelli reviewed the key actions for professional
practice. The team reviewed the common core literacy standards to determine 3 elements of
writing for focus, style, and credibility. They then looked at writing samples in the content areas
and selected a focal group of students. The strategy was to create a grade -wide rubric to assess
written work and then create, instruct and assess one writing assignment per content area per
quarter.
Mrs. Costa highlighted the professional practice goal for the team in which both 7" grade teams
are involved. The teams would use common language and expectations in regards to writing in
all subject areas. The rubrics can be adapted to fit different assignments within the different
disciplines, but the focus areas remain consistent which leads to common language for all
students. As part of the professional development process the teachers have been working
collaboratively across the different subject areas. They are getting into each other's classrooms
and consulting with each other to share similar experiences. She then reviewed the rubrics for all
subject areas.
Robyn Ferrazzm, Library Media Specialist, shared information on websites that students can use
to make searches much easier. She described Diigo and social bookmarking sites. These sites
help students save & organize information on cloud, empowers students to locate and share
good, quality information on the internet and they can share knowledge with others. She also
shared information on Gale Databases which allow students to find good stuff quickly.
Leah Christi, Foreign Language teacher shared how her students are using Diigo. She agrees
that the team is feeding good sources to the students for their use. She shared that writing
assignments in a foreign language can be more of a struggle for students to meet the rubrics.
One assignment was a Spanish Pen Pall letter. The assignment was used as a peer feedback
opportunity.
Mrs. Costa continued discussing activities in class that promote working and writing together
that allows for peer review and discussion of the paper. The students look for the "Hook &
Thesis" statements and offer suggestions.
April 23, 2013
Mr. Barnett shared that his students had an option of virtually or physically dissecting a frog in
class and write about the experience. Mr. MacIndewer added that the writing is transferring
between subjects and the students know what is required of them and are incorporating their
thesis statement in all work.
Mrs. Martinson offered the 7" grade students an opportunity to enter a writing competition. The
students worked independently and received minimal guidance from Mrs. Martinson. Several
Parker students were recognized for their essays.
Mrs. Costa concluded that the team is able to track the focal students work and their progress.
The collaboration is extremely effective.
Mr. Lyons added that there are writing assignments in art as well and can be found on the
Artsonia tab on the Parker website.
Dr. Doherty shared that this is a great example of how the Educator Evaluation process is
supposed to work with collaborative goals and teachers working together to achieve the set
goals.
Elementary Math Undate
Mrs. de Garavilla discussed the process used to choose the new elementary math curriculum.
After several visits to districts using the math curriculum under consideration and parent and
staff input it was decided to go with the Singapore Math program. This curriculum aligns with
the Common Core, it matches what we want to offer and during the visits the students were
engaged throughout the lesson.
Mr. Tom Loughlin, RMHS parent, asked about the high school math curriculum and the
concerns he had with the path for students that would like to eventually take Calculus.
Mr. Spadafora asked for more information on the program

What is Singapore Math?
Math in Focus•: Singapore Math by Marshaff Cavendish, for Grades K -8, is the U.S. edition
of Singapore's most widely used curriculum, bringing Singapore's effective approach to mathematics
to U.S. classrooms.
Singapore math emphasizes problem solving and positive attitudes toward mathematics, while focusing on
student development of skills, concepts, processes, and metacognit ion. Students are encouraged to reflect
on their thinking and learn how to self - regulate so that they can apply these skills to varied problemsolving
activities. The Singapore Ministry of Education uses a pentagon with problem solving in the center
to represent its curriculum framework.
