Teacher Corner
MAPS, DRA and Collaboration Meetings
I am working to get an Excel Spreadsheet (shareable) for keeping track of student progress to use during these meetings. Waiting for this data to be input into Inform (October deadline) does not help us with decisions on student programming that need to be made as soon as possible. I need a way to record student progress in a way that we can all access it.
Please share with me (electronically would be best) your classroom DRA results once you have them complete. I think I can access the MAPS scores electronically but I'll let you know if I need any assistance with this!
Please see me if you have any questions.
Agenda for K-3 Data Analysis/Intervention Planning: I will be scheduling Data Days for K-3 teachers in August asap.
- Review of District MTSS pyramid and classroom data
- Data sheets for tier 2 and 3 students
- Pyramid outlines number of times students must be met with and type of intervention
- Intervention Forms: Completed for all tier 2 and 3 students in ELA and math (ELA is priority but we need to provide both if needed)
- Review of assessment data with coach to determine students immediate strengths and needs/determine next steps with RR trained coach
- Determine when students will receive interventions
- Design intervention plans to include intervention goals, instructional practices, and progress monitoring tools
- Copies of intervention plans for all impacted staff, including building principal
