Jenn Frugaletti, the new Campo librarian talks about how she plans to organize and use the new library space:
"Services such as charging stations for laptops and phones will be provided, student organization materials will be available, and I am working on setting up Peer Tutoring and Binder Organization Help that can be accessed all seven periods of the day.
The library will also house the Testing Center. We are purchasing noise-canceling headphones and installing acoustic panels to dampen the noise, and I am looking into either building or buying mobile divider walls to create a private room that can easily be converted back to a common area when no one is testing.
For staff, I will be providing ongoing Canvas (and other teacher software) training and support. Additionally, I will be developing professional development for 9th grade (and all others who are interested) in AVID teaching strategies to embed within their curriculum and to help our 9th graders become confident and strategic learners. (AVID is an organization/program that teaches students HOW to be students - note-taking strategies, study strategies, executive functioning skills, etc.)
I will be working directly with Campo's TOSAs (Teachers On Special Assignment) who will focus on intervention for general education students who need additional support and with ninth graders transitioning from middle to high school. We will look at data to identify who needs intervention and then work with that student on a plan to get caught up or make progress where they are struggling. Looking back at ninth-grade data over the last 6 years led us to develop a 9th-grade program last year to better meet their needs as they transition into high school. Our current data indicates our program has been a success, and it is now being used as a model for other AUHSD schools. The TOSAs and I are working in collaboration to keep improving that program and thus improve the academic standing and feeling of connection for our ninth graders."
