Hareem's Thoughts from days at EV
Compliments:
Culture of school - Teachers actively engaged in the learning and immediately implementing what they are learning.
Focus on strategy groups and interactive read alouds as away of moving students
Teachers are walking around with the data and using it to identify smalls groups. Other schools dont think that way
Hareem wants to come and she doesn't always feel that way about a place
Library is proactive in continuing the message about literacy. Library is not just an isolated place but a part of the school culture of literacy
Staff has different strengths that compliment each other: Janine and Kevin know how to teach guided reading, Chris knows upper grade curriculum, Gen keeps great track of information. Staff knows who to go to for support.
Next steps:
Continue to maintain energy around the learning. teachers change with PD but the structures and systems around them do not change to allow for continued growth. Easy for teachers to fall back into old ways.
Hareem returns during summer to help with ELD curriculum and strategies.
