Conferences the week of November 6th
Dr. Curry will now come a 1/2 a day on November 8th for her day of walk throughs. I will let you know when she gives a schedule of that day.
Coming Soon...
Conferences
1. You have the third page of Tier II paperwork signed. You will put the date. Where it says results--put the reason for being Tiered. Where it says Next Step: put that interventions are being put in place.
2. Parent needs to sign
3. Give a parent letter. Document that this letter was sent on the Tier 2 paperwork.
4. No need to copy all info because you will meet with them again at MOY.
5. If a parent does not come--document it on the paperwork. Make a phone call or send a note (document). Let me or Janel know if they do not make a commitment to come in so one of us can contact them and try to get this scheduled.
*If you can offer something for the parent to do--add it to the plan. This gives the parent some accountability and when progress is not being made--it is NOT all on you. You do not have to do that but even a sight word list and a calendar that they have to sign each night or something is a way to involve the parent and SHARE some accountability.
Thanks for all you do! ASK if you are unsure!
Learning Should be Messy--Confusion and Mistakes Equal Dendrites
Resources to Follow Up MTSS Training
TES Goals--Plan with these in mind!
- Increase student to student interaction in conversation, summarizing, and discussion of content
- Vocabulary through student talk and rigor of text
- Complexity of Text
- Increase questioning of deep comprehension with all reading groups at each level. Do not wait for a student to be reading on a level for them to answer questions on that level orally.
- Application of phonics to multi-syllabic words in 2-5 and strong emphasis and mastery in K-1
- Growth Mindset and STAMINA
Growth Mindset Resources
Think on this information:
- Family income is a strong predictor of achievement.
- Growth Mindset exhibits a strong relationship with achievement across all socioeconomic levels.
- Lower socioeconomic students are less likely to hold growth mindset than wealthier peers.
Growth Mindset CAN buffer negative effects of poverty on achievement.
