Community Transition Interagency Committee (CTIC)
|
The Community Transitions Interagency Committee (CTIC) supports the state mission of the Olmstead Plan, "Minnesota will be a place where people with disabilities are living, learning, working, and enjoying life in the most integrated setting." Highlights from their May meeting:
2019-20 Collaboration and Professional Development Planning The committee reflected on this year's work and their mission moving forward with the intent to build their collective capacity on behalf of supporting our students' transitions. Region 10's Christian Wernau shared the Transition TA Model as a potential framework that has 1 prong as Interagency Collaboration; this is CTIC. The group will be able to use the collaborative framework to better improve transition planning and service delivery. Work Challenge Day The committee reflected on a recent activity designed to help students prepare for entering and being successful in the work world. Students attended a work challenge day, offered in 3 locations in SE Minnesota. GCED students participated at the Northfield site; they learned about transition and career opportunities as well as competed in various activities related to skills needed on the job. For example, one event was problem solving on the job. RBEC student Mary Nibbe and her team took first place in this event.

Student Outcomes in Reading and Math: How are we doing?
We hear a lot about growth, which is only natural. At a system level, our students' rate of growth can let us know how we are doing. We have limited time and resources so it is important to ask if what we are doing is impacting our students' growth. Are we satisfied with the results? What are we doing well? What do we want to improve?
|
Reading Growth
13.5% - Aggressive Growth 39% - Typical Growth 32% - Modest Growth 15.5% - Flat Growth |
Math Growth
18% - Aggressive Growth 36% - Typical Growth 32% - Modest Growth 14% - Flat Growth |
In addition to growth, it is important that we look at student proficiency outcomes at a system level. We have identified the answers to the 4 essential questions:
- What do we want our students to know?
- How will we know if they know it or not?
- How will we respond if they do not know it?
- How will we respond if they already know it?
