Weekly Coaching Focus Areas: 1/11-1/15
Observing with Data in Hand
What does data in hand mean?
Entering a classroom with some form of data wall (STEP wall, Cumulative assessment data wall, NWEA quartile wall, etc.)
For this week and next week, you should/could use the prework that you each completed for data days since it already provides information about where students are falling within the cohort.
Observation Form
Here is the electronic Types of Talk Observation Form. To keep us focused and not overwhelmed with trying to track too much electronically, we will only collect Types of Talk data in the electronic observation form just so that we have a good pulse at the end of the week on where we are against our school-wide types of talk goals.
I've printed a stack out and left them in the PINK pocket in the colored file folder organizer.
In the Moment Coaching
For this week, you can focus your in-the-moment coaching on "Do It Again" opportunities for teachers.
However, remember that in the moment coaching is just as effective and should be used to coach teachers academically/content-wise in the moment.
Capturing Video
Every teacher must have a video clip to complete their video analysis protocol on Thursday afternoon.
Here is the video analysis protocol that teachers will use during the video analysis portion.
I have a regional leadership meeting to attend at 3:30pm on Thursday at RUA, so I will need to leave at 3:00pm. To avoid you all having to lead this on your own, we can flip the schedule to have grade levels meet about the awards ceremonies and report cards at the end or you can cover it with them during CPT. Just let me know what works best.
Here is the student work analysis protocol that teachers will go through. For the student work analysis, identify for teachers which exit ticket/You Do/independent work you want them to bring so that all of their work can aligned to breaking down one specific standard. Have the standard printed out for each group/pair to work refer to during the student work analysis.
If you would like for me to show you how to lead the meeting based on breaking down a standard, just block out time on my calendar (between 11:10-1:45pm) to do so. I love weekly data meetings so I'd be happy to go over the agenda with you.
Action Items to cover with grade levels:
February 2nd - 3rd and 4th grade
- 3rd grade: 9:00am-10:00am
- 4th grade: 10:00am-11:00am
February 3rd:
- Kindergarten: 9:00-10:00am
- 1st Grade: 10:15-11:15am
- 2nd Grade: 11:15-12:15pm
Awards:
- STEP Growth: 1+ levels
- MAP Growth: 5+ points (give me some feedback on if this sounds right?)
- MAP Growth: Met their Winter Goal
- LiveSchool: Top Earner - is there anyway to pull this data from before the break?
- LiveSchool: Most Improved
- Principal's List: Grew 1+ level on STEP and Grew 5+(?) points on MAP in both subjects
- Core Value Awards: Respect, Persistence, Empathy, Responsibility
Grade levels will need CPT to fill these out so that they aren't stressed the week of/before the ceremonies.
IS ANYONE GOOD AT CREATING AWARD TEMPLATES?
Report Cards
School-wide Shout Outs!
It helps to invest teachers in school-wide focus areas as well as work towards building an authentic team.
Our four main focus areas:
Sticky Key Points
Enduring Skills
Types of Talk
Do It Again* - let's be sure to continue to highlight this so that teachers can feel the importance and relevancy of having students "do it again" not just in the first week back from break, but that it is something that effective teachers all of the time. I used Do It Again pretty much every single day in my classroom.
