- Refrigerator Clean Out - If you have anything in the refrigerator, please get it by Monday pm! We will be doing a massive throw away/clean out on Tuesday afternoon!
IStation Level Descriptions: When we began using Istation's reports, students were placed into tiers. Since Istation now places students into 5 performance levels, here's a graphic showing the correlation between performance levels and tiers. Please look over this before we have our PLCs next week!
IStation Progress Monitoring:
Please remember to have students very focused when you are administering IStation each month. Students should not be eating snacks, near friends, or rushed for time. Teachers should be actively monitoring the small group of students who are assessing and reminding them to stay on task. Please make sure you are administering IStation in testing like conditions, stressing urgency and attention since questions are timed. We can not use this data if students are not taking the assessment seriously.
It would be helpful to i/e teachers if homeroom teachers did their monthly progress monitoring at the beginning of the month. The on demand assessments that i/e teachers are assigning will not show up for the student until the whole ISIP test is done first. We would like to begin this process in December. Please add it to your PLC agendas to discuss.

Worth a few minutes!
Dr. Jordan shared the following link below with principals today and it got me fired up! The link takes you to a recent video of snippets from a presentation to the NC State Board of Education. It is worth a look. The strategies/approaches/mindset that the principal shares have been seemingly transformative for his high-poverty school. This video empowered me....even after a LONG week to get excited about the work we do daily for kids! During this stressful, busy time of the year....don't forget your WHY! I am so thankful to be on a team with each of you! Let's change the world, one student at a time!
