Formative 2
I will be starting the second formative round of observations on March 1st. There are a few of you who I have yet to do your Brief 4, but I will do my best to get to you next week so that we're all on the same page.
As I come around here are some of the specific instructional strategies that I will be looking for:
- AKS aligned instruction (in whole group, guided groups, and student groups), intervention groups that address the needs of students according to data (both for remediation and acceleration).
- Components of BLN starting with the Architecture of a Mini Lesson.
- Lesson plans that are aligned with the rigor of the standards.
Release Time
Here is the plan:
February 29th (all day)
Language Arts: Blankenship, Back, and Resnick
March 2nd (11:30-3:30)
Math: Shaw, Freeman, and Hamrick
March 4th (7:30-3:30)
SS: Shaw, Smarch, Sanchez
March 4th (11:30-3:30)
SC: Atkinson, Freeman, and Rossetti
There will be coach or specialist support in each session to provide everyone with additional resources and to help delve into the standards deeper. If you can have an outline of the pacing calendar ready PRIOR to the release time that will enable us to jump into creating/adjust common summative assessments first to ensure that we're assessing at the rigor level stated in the standard.
