K-5 Teachers!
Let's work at getting our students to hit the 30 minute weekly goal for Moby Max
Look below for an example of how promoting 30 minutes weekly in 3rd graders can double the learning that is projected by December.
6th-11th Math Teachers
We are showing steady progress weekly in "Pie Progress"...Let's keep it going and promote those topics!🥳
Below, you can see we are already above where we averaged last year at the same time by 2%...let's beat ourselves this year!
November Istation ISIP is open...please make sure to complete it as soon as possible
✍️3rd-8th Grade✍️
If you did not already complete it, this next week you will still complete the written response CFA that goes along with the reading passages your students already read as part of their reading CFA. The prompt mocks a released resource from Cognia. You will find the prompt in your Illuminate DNA tile as a "writing CFA". Some things to remember:
- This is for YOU to use to drive your instruction. We can't wait until the summer of 2023 to see how the students did in April, and then start being responsive. We are using this opportunity to see what we can respond to, prevent, or promote. Your work matters and you make a difference. Thank you for your dedication.
