The Flagler County School District is in its second year of a teacher-incentive and mentoring program that funded teacher support staff at Flagler Palm Coast High School and Buddy Taylor Middle School this year, and will expand to other schools in the future.
The Sustainable Educator Evaluation and Compensation project’s total funding for Flagler County is more than $5.5 million over five years for teacher performance, teacher support colleagues, performance compensation and developing local assessments.
“These dollars have allowed us to implement the teacher-support colleague at two schools and, next year, moving forward, we’ll have a teacher-support colleague in every school,” Assistant Superintendent Jacob Oliva said at a Flagler County School Board meeting Tuesday.
The program provides professional development for teachers districtwide as well as teacher support colleagues in individual schools.
“The position of teacher-support colleague at FPCHS has made an authentic impact on teachers and students this year,” Flagler Palm Coast High School Teacher Support Colleague Stacia Collier said. “And although it’s our first full year, and a few aspects of the position were rolled out later in the year, many teachers have begun to look at student data in a completely different way.”
At Buddy Taylor Middle School, the SEEC project is working intensively with reading teachers, a program representative told board members at Tuesday’s meeting. Flagler County is one of nine Florida school districts participating in the SEEC project, created by the North East Florida Educational Consortium.
A SEEC representative said the project will focus on improved measurement and tracking this coming year.
