Sipley School Weekly Howl
Week of Monday, February 13, 2017
The students of Sipley School need to be our motivation. We need to connect deeply with our kids, despite the obstacles they have. I can't do it alone and neither can you. It takes EVERYONE. I expect everyone to do more for them. Remember to ask, "Who are you? What are you about? What is your latest evidence?"
Data Review
I hope Data Review provided you with a greater understanding of ECRA data where we use it to start questions that we gain the answers to. You found that the Data Review was positive and focused on forward success, not past occurrences. I asked each staff member to continue to focus on the formative assessment work we are doing as each individual's ownership of their work will lead to collective growth, which will be evident on every indicator of growth.
We completed DEB and Learning Lab groupings. I will confirm all groupings by Wednesday of next week. The student names that are currently on our intervention document may change as I want to gain further input in some areas. This will allow staff to share any changes or added support with parents.
All DEB and Learning Lab changes will begin on Tuesday, February 21, 2017.
First grade will NOT have DEB next week (week of 2/13/2017).
PARCC Resources
Grades 3 through 6 are going to begin some PARCC prep as they focus on focus on learning standards for their grade and build student comfort with the tools and vocabulary used on PARCC assessments.
