Curriculum
Grade level/Curriculum Meetings: It has been determined that all curriculum/ grade level meetings at ctech will be cancelled for the remainder of the year. Sarah Poole will take care of cancelling the absences and subs for those dates.
IREAD/ISTEP:
We just found out that we were approved to do ISTEP part 1 as paper/ pencil. However, IREAD 3 will be all online.
DIBELS: MOY DIBELS begin next week!
Please review the schedule sent out before. Don't forget that upper grades have DAZE and you will need to copy your passages for those assessments. The testing time is 3 minutes! When turning in your booklets they need to be in ABC order with the scores written on the front cover AND the median score circled.
Don't forget to sign up for Matt to observe your mini-lessons!
Here's a link to a document that has different question stems organized by standard. You could use this with your Acuity data to make sure we are asking a variety of questions. Students need to hear different ways standards can be questioned. Using this, or something like it will help with students not understanding future questions.
