TALENT DEVELOPMENT AND ACCELERATION SERVICES AT ELEMENTARY SITES
As a reminder, each elementary school is to gather data about Levels of Service (LoS) for Talent Development and Acceleration Services (TDAS) and submit the information in the LoS Google Form.
Please submit the information prior to winter break -even if it is not fully complete - so that a summary of the data can be compiled. The data will inform the broader TDAS work across SPPS, help align services and inform any additional professional development needs.
Please reach out to your building TDAS contact or Benjamin Lacina (benjamin.lacina@spps.org) in the Office of Teaching and Learning with any questions.
