Hello STs! We hope you had a chance to enjoy some downtime yesterday during the snow day! This week's news blast will contain essential information about Gateway 2, as well as some updates on the syllabus and SBS. Gateway 2! Gateway 2 observations are being scheduled as we speak and begin today and go through 03.30. For Gateway 2 all Gateway 1 components are evaluated and 8 additional components are evaluated as well (see chart below). As with Gateway 1, FEMS will conduct your observation and debrief with you after your scheduled observation. During that debrief, the FEM will share evidence and scores for each rubric component, and then discuss next steps with you and your CC. Performance Improvement Plans If you were not provided with a Performance Improvement Plan after Gateway 1, but you do not meet 3 or more benchmarks in your Gateway 2 observation, you will be provided with a Performance Improvement Plan to help support your growth between now and Gateway
