We went to Oriole time to add a remedial time to support English and Math and to also offer enrichment activities to those who do not need remediation.
We didn't at the time add it for homework completion.
We continue to have a large group in study hall -which is okay if those kids need a break and do not have a study hall but wanted all to be aware.
As a Department/PLC team-please review
* are we providing remedial(reteaching) instruction to support English(literacy) and Math skills?
* are we providing enough enrichment opportunities for students
* what are changes we need to implement for Oriole time to be effective?
* what data are we using to show if Oriole time remediation is effective?
thank you!
