1. Collaborative planning with the instructional coach with same grade, same content area to create proficiency scales and unit plans based on the priority standards.
2. Creating common assessments and common scoring guides to match proficiency scales.
3. Analyzing data from common assessments/other assessments using common scoring guides to calibrate feedback and next steps for instruction.
Double Plan Days
We will keep double-plan on Mondays and Fridays. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday you will have single plan. We will focus our energy on the three areas above.
Vertical Planning
There will be a built-in vertical planning day once per month per content area that will not interfere with your 10 planning periods. We're building it into the Level Up/Tutorial Time.
Peer Observations
We will do this on a voluntary basis with the use of subs next year.

We'll continue our 15 minute faculty circles plus one hour of faculty meeting time per month. I schedule the hours so you know in advance when they are.
Using Flex Time This Summer
