Important Instructional Levers and Look For:
WEEKLY Instructional LOOK-FORS:
- Instruction must be bell to bell.
- Vocabulary, vocabulary, vocabulary-- Vocabulary is one of our lowest scoring areas building wide- we must continuously ensure we are providing vocabulary rich classrooms.
- Writing across all content areas-- ensure that you plan for writing throughout your day.
- Begin planning your stations/task menus (Instructional activities, process, expectations and transitions).
- Connective Purpose Statements (I Can Statements and objectives) up daily in classrooms.
- Update your Master trackers for ELA and MATH on a daily basis.
- Checking for Understanding- We will be looking for both formal and informal CFU's. We expect to see some type of check for understanding every 8-10 minutes throughout a lesson.

Shout Outs!
Mrs. Berry- A great display of leadership within the building.
Ms. Erwood- For allowing teachers to peer observe her classroom this week and learn new teaching strategies.
All staff- for going above and beyond in preparing their RTI instructional groupings.
Mrs. L. Williams- For coming to school and enduring through the rest of the week.
SPED Paras: for continuing to play a crucial role in making sure that our students are well taken care of physically, emotionally and educationally. We appreciate you!
Weekly Cultural LOOK-FORS:
- Teachers and Students continue to model and practice School Wide and classroom Expectations according to the Wildcat Matrix.
- Use of Dojo points and ROAR Tickets to continue to positively reinforce behavior. We will hold end of the month class parties this week for each grade level with the most ROAR tickets-- the expectation is that all classes use both Dojo and ROAR tickets.
- Use of Community circle, Pulse check, and 2 minute connection to build relationships with students. Administration will continue to look for these practices being used within the classroom.
- Please make sure that we are using the walkie-talkies for Level III offenses, nurse or buddy room escorts. For minor infractions in the classroom setting (use your restorative practices, safe seat, buddy rooms) before calling for administration or sending students to the office. (No student will be sent to the office unless brought be an administrator).
