Peer Review
As we prepare for our Peer Review, I will use this section of our newsletter to send you information to help you be more prepared for the observations and interviews. Due to state scheduling, the dates have been changed to April 19 - 22.
Please review the Communication Modality Continuum - https://drive.google.com/a/pisd.edu/file/d/0B6dsJkpn4D0rdnBlQnctOFhwS3c/view?usp=sharing As you observe and assess your students, look at how they communicate in various settings. Remember that a student's communication mode can vary throughout the day based on the environment and the complexity of the learning activity. This chart helps us look at how a child communicates and what accommodations they might use or need.
