Local Church Volunteers to help Middle School Students
This year the Presbyterian Church volunteered to come into the After School Program at South Middle school to help tutor and prepare students for the Ohio Achievement Assessment taken the last week in April. There were 21 volunteers who gave an hour of their time once a week for a nine week period. Students were very excited to have their own personal one on one tutor. Thank you to all who volunteered, your hard work made a big impact on our students!

Formative Assessment/Learning Targets
Greenville Junior High and Greenville South Middle School have been working hard over the course of the last two years to transform their curriculum. Our Teachers have worked collaborativley by department/grade level in professional development sessions to develop common quarterly assessments and learning targets. The Common Quarterly Assessments are given four times a year at the Junior High and currently three times a year at South Middle School. The assessments mirror the Ohio Achievement Assessments given to students each Spring. The Junior High considers the second and fourth assessments to be an "Exam" and a special schedule is provided to help transition students to taking exams at the high school level. We also have successfully implemented learning targets in the each classroom grades 5-8 so students/teachers have a goal or "I CAN" statement or statements that provide students a clear understanding of what they are going to achieve each day. The "I CAN" statement or learning target takes the Grade Level Indicator (State Standards) and breaks it down into more kid friendly language so that it can be translated to the students in clear and positive manner. Teachers then assess student understanding of the learning target to determine if we need to reflect/re-teach or move on with the lesson. The Smart Response Systems referenced in the paragraph above under technology will help provide teachers with the real-time feedback that they need to help assess student understanding of the material presented. The daily learning targets and assessment then build up to the common quarterly assessment, which in turn build up the the Ohio Achievement Assessment. Teachers meet periodically during the year in on-going professional development sessions with Curriculum Staff from the Darke County Educational Service Center to align the curriculum, revise and develop common quarterly assessments, discuss and develop formative assessment strategies, analyze student data, and develop an educational framework for each year.
New Technology Coming to the Middle School and Junior High
21st Century Technology Coming to South Middle School and Greenville Junior High
Greenville Junior High and Greenville South Middle School will be adding Smart Boards and Smart Response Systems to every Core Subject Area and Special Education Classroom very soon. Smart Boards are interactive White Boards where students/staff can utilize the internet through hands-on demonstrations and presentations. The Smart Response Systems provide real time data to staff to help them monitor and guage student learning. The Smart Response Systems have a screen that displays the question the teacher is asking and allows the students in the classroom to answer the question with the response system. Once answered, the teacher can monitor student responses and determine if they need to re-teach the concept or move on with the lesson. This is a great way for teachers to reach students who may not always answer questions that are asked of the whole class during a lesson/discussion. The teacher receives real-time feedback for all students and can then determine how to proceed with the lesson for all students. Teachers will be given on-going professional development in the utilization of the Smart Technology. We will work closely with the Curriculum Staff from the Darke County Educational Service Center to develop hinge questions with the Smart Response Systems. Hinge questions are questions that teachers will develop to guage student assessment of the learning target being presented with the lesson. It is our goal in Greenville City Schools to provide our students with the tools/skills to become 21st Century Learners. The implementation of the Smart Boards and Smart Response Systems will be a wonderful addition/enhancement to the education of each child grades 5-8. Please feel free to visit www.smarttech.com to learn more about the Smart Boards and Smart Response Systems and to view the technology your kids will soon be utilizing under Education. In addition, South Middle School has also gone wireless and added Netbook Computers in the classroom as another step to move our students forward in becoming 21st Century Learners.
