CLT Focus on Monday 2/11/2019
- iReady Data Action Plan Review we were going to do in Team meetings this week-- due to loss of days we will use CLT for these discussions. Bring your Small Groups and Action Plan you've created. I will also have the hard copy of the Data Wall we looked at in the BLT mtg on Tuesday AM-- this will allow for a collective look at each grade of our Yellow groups-- see if we have any that we have missed for extra interventions/supports.
- Due to Snow Days we will hold off on the DRA Review- I will add this to team meetings next time we get together the week of 2/18/19.
- We will discuss how we will get Progress Reports home- since we did not have school. :)
Please be conscious of where you are in the process. Are you doing more than looking at the scores? Are conversations being had about what worked well and how we can support our students and one another? This is the MAGIC that I want to see our teams work towards and use to grow our TRIBE!!
