Teacher Assignments At Whelan School, teachers are assigned to classes based on the needs of students placed in each class. Many teacher assignments in the Lennox community require fluency in both Spanish and English in order to provide appropriate instruction for students. This evaluation includes goal setting and is conducted by the principal. This training occurs half of the time with substitutes and half of the time before school starts. For other teachers, the District provides classes in Spanish language, culture, and bilingual teaching methodology.
Training occurs during minimum days.
The combination of these evaluations and training efforts helps create a strong staff, which provides a quality educational program. Quality of Instruction and School Leadership Leadership at Whelan School is provided by a number of individuals and groups. The School Leadership Team is comprised of the principal, counselor, resource teacher, and members of the School Site Council. All of them are bilingual to better serve the school population. One or more Board Members attended all of these programs.
