CLT Focus on Monday
- PD Day Video 2nd Share Out
- Weekly iReady Online Instruction View of your students.
- PLC time for teams- come ready to work. Where are you at in the PLC Flow Chart Process. Remember to assign a secretary to fill out the PLC Admin form in your Google File.
- Balance this time between reviewing math and reading data/instructional strategies.
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!!
iReady
- Keep your students using the Online Instructional piece 3 times a week for 15 minutes.
- I will send out a reminder about our communication and the report we share out with parents about the Diagnostic at PT Conferences.
- As we met with Teams this week- looking at the Beginning of the Year Data for Reading 72% are on or above grade level for this time of the year. (Beginning of the Year View)
- Beginning of the Year Data for Math shows 72% of our students are are on or above grade level for this time of the year. (Beginning of the Year View)
- Teams had great conversations- revisit the Recap email I sent on Monday about what our trends and notices were when reviewing the data.
