As March continues to provide us with recordsettingtemperatures and a spring like no other, so do ourlegislatures in their record-setting legislation. Approximatelyone year ago, Act 10 was front and center in the news as itchanged the landscape of collective bargaining in Wisconsin.Since then, several other initiatives in Madison have, again, reshapedthe landscape of public education in Wisconsin.On Thursday, March 15, one of these legislative initiatives,a much-debated bill passed in the Senate and Assembly. The bill contained a program called“Read to Lead” governed by the Read to Lead Developmental Council which is charged withimproving reading for Wisconsin students. Grant allocations will be available for the programfor use in targeted schools. Also included in their charge is the evaluation of our teacherpreparatory programs. The University of Wisconsin system, technical college system, andWisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities will have increased scrutinyand measures for their standards of performance and the performance of their graduates.In addition, there is a component to the new legislation that addresses educator effectiveness.The DPI will be developing an educator effectiveness evaluation system for the evaluation ofteachers and principals beginning with the 2014-15 school year. As you are aware, most schooldistricts already evaluate teachers and principals as we do regularly here in Glenwood City. Theprimary difference in the newly-mandated program is that 50% of the total evaluation score fora teacher or principal must be based on measures of student performance using the outcome ofstate assessments, district-wide assessments and student learning objectives, as well as schoolwidereading at the elementary and middle school levels, and graduation rates at the high schoollevel. The remaining 50% of the total evaluation score for a teacher will be based on the extentto which the teacher’s practice meets the 2011 Interstate Teacher Assessment and SupportConsortium guidelines. The remaining 50% of the evaluation score for a principal will bebased on the extent the principal’s practice meets the 2008 Interstate School Leaders LicensureConsortium’s Educational Leadership Policy Standards. Thankfully, considerable work hasalready occurred here in Glenwood City in both the leadership and core teaching standards areas.Alternative assessments for teachers and principals will be available as long as planningand preparation, classroom environment, instruction, and professional responsibilities anddevelopment are components of the evaluation system. In my opinion, besides the mandatedevaluation components referenced above, the heart of any evaluation system must insureconsistency in the evaluation processes and still allow flexibility for teachers so that “teachablemoments” can be capitalized on.Another key component of an evaluation system, and one of the cornerstones of the newlymandatedsystem, is using “value-added” measurements of student performance. Value-addedmeasurement centers on how much students improve, not necessarily what the aggregate scoreor performance may be. So, a teacher with a more difficult group of students will be placed onan equal playing field with a teacher facing fewer challenges across the hall, across town, oracross the state.With this new accountability system, will come new measures of evaluating our students.Recently, Tonia Miland, our District Assessment Coordinator, presented to the School Boardchanges that are being recommended in this area. Please keep your eyes open for more updateson this in future publications and School Board minutes or inquire with your child’s teacher and/or principal.The bottom line is: every student deserves access to a great education. We are very fortunate tohave parents and residents in our district who provide support to the school and students and forthis I am extremely grateful. Thank you for your support.Lastly, although spring in March seems like a drastic change, it is still a Wisconsin spring.Similarly, the new legislative model may sound drastic when, in reality, evaluation is alreadya major emphasis here in the Glenwood City School District and will continue to be thecornerstone of our improvement initiatives. Our teachers, principals, and Board have embracedour mission “to improve teaching and learning to enable all students to achieve their higheststandard of performance”. This, along with our goals to “provide instruction and guidance toall staff through regular, consistent and meaningful professional development”, and “provideopportunities for student learning for all students through quality instruction, assessments andcurriculum that go beyond state standards”, have created a strong foundation for our district.This foundation will help us meet our mission of providing the “highest quality educationalexperience so all students can be lifelong learners, socially proficient and productive membersof society”.

1966 - 1969 HS PRINCIPAL, GERALD SKAAR, RETURNS FOR A VISITGerald Skaar, former Glenwood High School principal, recently made a surprise visit to the schooland checked out his old office (now occupied by the District Accountant). Mr. Skaar was High Schoolprincipal for three years from 1966-67 to 1968-69. During that time, Dr. Charles Rasmussen graduated,the District hired Bonnie (Blowers) Cronk and Al Christopherson, and Kay (Dobberphul) Logghe was inher second year of teaching.After he left Glenwood City, Mr. Skaar wasHigh School Principal in Lincoln Rapids andspent nine years as Superintendent of thePardeeville School District in southeasternWisconsin. He has since retired and nowenjoys a life of leisure in Pardeeville.The day he was here, Mr. Skaar was travelingwith friends and family. Fortunately, KayLogghe was able to visit with him. Healso found his picture in the yearbooks andreminisced about the time he spent here. It wasa rare opportunity to see a former principalfrom years past. Glad you stopped, Mr. Skaar!Above: Mr. Skaar and Kay LoggheRight: Mr. Skaar showing his photo in the 1966 yearbookSTAFF SPOTLIGHTWhy did you become a teacher? I always knew I enjoyed working with children; however I did not start my career in atraditional teaching role. My favorite part of my job as a Respiratory Therapist was working with children and teaching parentsInfant CPR, equipment usage etc. I had also been involved in teaching CCD classes, and in Special Olympics with mydevelopmentally disabled brother. After several years as a Respiratory Therapist, I came to the conclusion that I wanted toreturn to school and complete a teaching degree. I was very interested in working with children with disabilities, so my initialteaching degree was in Early Childhood Special Education.Family: My husband Dennis and I live in the Colfax area. We have two daughters; Courtney and Carina. Courtney is aMedical Assistant for the Marshfield Clinic and Carina is a third grade teacher in the New Auburn School District. We alsohave three sons; Matthew and Jason age 16, and Tristan age 8. On March 29th our first grandchild, Adelia will turn one!My husband Dennis and I also serve as “foster parents” for my brother Dan.Hobbies/interests: I enjoy reading, taking walks, snowshoeing, camping and paddling around the lake in my paddleboat. I also enjoy our ‘hobby” farm and especially our mules Francis and Misty.Most memorable event: The births of my two daughters and granddaughter and the looks of excitement and joy on mythree adopted son’s faces the day the judge told them they were now “Lenz’s”.Amy LenzFuture Plans: I plan to enjoy many more years of teaching. I will also be making the time to enjoy watching my granddaughtergrow and my sons become young men.Things that I would have done differently: I am sure there are things I could have done differently, but I don’tspend my life dwelling on those. I choose to make the best of each situation/challenge that comes my way and learn frommy mistakes.Why did you become a teacher? I became a teacher because I knew that I enjoy working with people and had experienceswith my own teachers that greatly influenced who I am as a person. I wanted to choose a career that would allowme to attempt to be that positive person for others. I also had a great role model in my mother, who has absolutely lovedteaching for her entire career.Family: I am an extremely lucky person being that I have a very close family. My wife, Taryn and amazing 14 monthold son, Clayton and I are very active. I also come from a very close family and regularly see my parents, brother, sisters,and each of their families weekly. My father and mother in law are also excellent people that are a lot of fun to spendtime with.Hobbies/interests: I have A LOT of interests. I love the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, shed hunting (looking for deerantlers), walking through the woods, and pretty much anything to do with wildlife. I also love snowmobiling and motorcycling,and fishing. Traveling anywhere, but especially places of historical significance is also a passion. I also enjoydriving tractor on my dad’s farm in the summer and reading.Jacob ScoreMost memorable event: There are so many to think of. One would have to be playing football on a conference championshipteam as an offensive guard, playing next to my brother, a center. As far as since I’ve been here at GlenwoodCity, being an assistant coach on a basketball team that made it to Madison and coaching several football conferencechampionships.Future Plans: I plan to continue teaching, coaching, and enjoying working with the students. I find a lot of satisfactionin working with students in the classroom and in coaching and hope that I can continue being as active as I have been.Things that I would have done differently: I really don’t have too many regrets, though I may have traveled a littlemore prior to settling down and starting a family.

E-X-P-A-N-D-I-N-GMinds with Experiments!READ ACROSS AMERICA CELEBRATION“You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild,to pick up a book and read to a child!”– Dr. SeussThe Glenwood City Elementary School celebrated the stories ofDr. Seuss the week of February 27 – March 2. There was a parentchild“read at home” event that lasted all week. A student from eachclassroom received a book for reading 80 minutes at home. Communityreaders came in through-out the week to share their favorite Dr. Seussbook with the various classrooms. Then on Friday, the students dressedup as their favorite Dr. Seuss characters and ended the day with theirYoung Author’s Celebration.The Young Author’s Celebration consisted of the students meeting inmulti-grade groups and they shared the books that they had written.Following the share groups, students returned to their classroomsfor drawings to receive books that were donated by the teachers. Tocontinue our Young Author’s Celebration there will be a Glenwood CityReading night on Monday, March 26 from 6 to 7. Author, Katie McKywill be coming to speak.Each student in Ms. Standaert’s kindergarten class has theopportunity to “be the scientist” and perform an experimentfor their peers. Above is Valarie Melstrom is standingbehind her 2 bottles and explained that the frozen waterexpanded and moved above the marked lines she had placedto show the equal amounts of water she put into the bottles atthe beginning of the experiment.Below is Sydney Grant reading her poster about the colors of therainbow (ROY G BIV.) She then used a flashlight to show thestudents that you can shine it through a glass of water to produce arainbow effect on white paper.Riley Krueger (below right) is holding up his jar that shows thatthe blue water-based food coloring he put in it only mixes with thewater at the bottom and not the oil at the top.Using experiments with kindergarten students is a fun way to getthem using and talking about some of the science process skillssuch as observation, prediction and measurement. Who knowswhich experiment might spark a young mind to become the world’snext great scientist!
