The Mustang Review
11/7/2023
Good Morning Mustangs!
I hope everyone is having a great week so far.
Please make sure you e-mail your lesson plans to your evaluating administrator, if you haven't already, and also place them in your Google Drive folder. We also need the Recorder from each PLT to e-mail your PLT meeting notes to your evaluating administrator. Please make sure to include the standard(s) addressed at the meeting.
Thank you and I hope everyone has a fantastic rest of your week!
A couple of weeks ago Ms. Eichelberger, Ms. Cassidy, and Ms. Keesee had the opportunity to attend and represent our school at the district's Teaching and Learning Summit. They learned about and discussed many different topics. Two of the topics they discussed were MTSS and intervention. Below, I am including one of the Google Slides they reviewed at the summit. This slide hits on some key areas that I think are important to highlight. Intervention Block should be a time for teachers to specifically focus on essential standards. Student performance on common formative assessments should be used to drive instruction and determine individual student needs. The slide below also states, "Ensure intervention groups remain fluid - fade, continue, modify, change or add when necessary." Our Mustang Block students are mostly set, but we do allow for some teacher choice with your groups. I would encourage you to use your teacher choice groups to select students that are struggling on specific essential standards so you can use that time to give them targeted reteaching. We can also be flexible on your Mustang Block students that rotate. Let me and Ms. Keesee know if you and your team have worked together to make suggested changes to your lists. You know the students on your team better than anyone and we want to make sure they are put into the classes/groups that they need help in the most and that will help put them in the best possible position to succeed.
