With a focus on rigor and student engagement, administrators have been working to provide students and staff with opportunities to enhance education. The following are some of the Strategic Plan initiatives that will be available for students and/or staff during the 2010-2011 school year: n Coppell High School Academies n New Tech High @ Coppell Virtual Communication Between Students and Business Partners, and Restructuring of Job Shadowing n New Middle School Courses (High School Credit Courses and Electives) n Dual Language Immersion Classes n Club 21 n More Academic Competition Opportunities (Elementary Academic UIL) n Online Learning (Plugged N) n Blended Night Courses Offered at CHS n Staff Development Focusing on Real World Application, Service Learning, Differentiation, Project-Based Learning n Character Traits/Standards on Student Report Cards For more information about the Strategic Plan, visit www.coppellisd.com. In May 2010, Mockingbird Elementary hosted Coppell ISD’s Elementary UIL Academic Meet. This was the first elementary meet held by CISD in a decade. All nine elementary schools attended with a total of 240 students Teaching for the 21st Century competing on 62 teams in 19 academic events. The events covered a variety of areas, including Art, Creative Writing, Number Sense, and Spelling, among others. The overall campus sweepstakes winners were Mockingbird Elementary in first, Denton Creek Elementary in second, and Valley Ranch Elementary in third. Awards were also given to the top six students in each event category. The goal of the meet was to increase academic competition opportunities for CISD elementary students, and participation is expected to double next year.

Engaging Students Through CHS Academies

Club 21 is a group that formed to support the Coppell High School and Middle School Strategic Plans. The secondary teachers that make up this group will be equipped, through sustained professional development and model classrooms, to seamlessly integrate technology and instruction that engages students. During the spring semester, Club 21 began a collaborative learning journey. In partnership with Tom Daccord, founder of EdTechTeacher, 24 CISD secondary teachers and the campus technology integration specialists embarked on a professional development series entitled TEACHING FOR THE 21st CENTURY. The series consists of: n 4 Full-Day, Onsite Workshops (April and June 2010) n 2 (7-Week) Online Courses in Technology Integration (Fall 2010, Spring 2011) Each course provides six lessons in using established and new Web 2.0 technologies both in the classroom and for professional development.

CISD Education Foundation Update By Leah Meinhardt The Coppell ISD Education Foundation brought the year to a close by hosting its eighth annual Student/Teacher Academic Recognition Banquet in May. Over 350 attendees gathered with the Foundation Board to honor 36 students that comprise the “Top 5 %” of the 2010 graduating class and the CISD teachers (grades K-12) that had the greatest positive impact on their lives and academic careers. Along with honoring these outstanding students, the 14 campus Teachers of the Year were acknowledged for their educational leadership and excellence in the classroom and two district Teachers of the Year were announced by CISD Superintendent Dr. Jeff Turner. Each year the Education Foundation awards Innovative Teaching Grants and Mrs. Krueger has helped Erin Barlow to grow Matching Funds Grants to benefit CISD students and staff. During the 2009-2010 school “At the beginning of his course, Mr. Vergien promises significantly as a writer… “Mrs. Krueger has made his students he will ‘change how you view everything year, the Foundation donated a total of $18,405 through eight innovative teaching a lasting impact on my life due to her passion as a in life.’ Needless to say, he follows through on his teacher and her warm personality.” grants on seven CISD campuses.
