SPRING DUTIES 2019
Close Reading - Invite Admin in for Observations
This researched-based strategy is effective in all content areas. For the rest of this year, each teacher should invite an administrator in to watch a Close Reading lesson. We are collecting walk-through data around this strategy 6-12 across the District.
When you implement this strategy please send an invitation to April and/or your evaluator. All teachers should send an invitation at least two times before the end of the year.
If you need more support in implementing this strategy, please reach out to Kristen or Tyson.

New Iowa Assessment ISASP Update
Tentative testing schedule:
May 1 - Science, 10th grade only
May 2 - Language & Writing
May 3 - Math & Reading
We will be running an adjusted schedule May 1-3, so you can plan for about 45 minute classes each day. Students will go to all blocks, but only Wall-to-wall students will travel to off-campus classes.
As we continue to prepare for the ISASP and questions come up please post on our Discussion Board. I appreciate all who have posted already. It has allowed me to ask other questions that I hadn't thought of yet to District administrators. The more we figure out ahead of time, the smoother the testing will go.

We will be administering the ISASP the week of April 30th
