Rountree Report

Welcome Back!
It is Cyber Monday--do you have all your shopping done? Don't panic I haven't even started!
Welcome back from a much deserved break! I am anxious to see what learning we can accomplish in the next few weeks. The return from an extended break is a great time to reconnect with students. Consistency in routine and structure continues to be of high importance.
Touching Base
In reviewing our building SAP the 2 goals we committed to were increasing online classroom collaboration and increasing Dreambox lesson progress.
Online collaboration
This collaboration article has a few student collaboration tools that might be helpful. Please contribute to this Canvas discussion board to share what you are trying and what is working well.
Dreambox lesson progress
Based on the data we have been utilizing thus far this action piece seems to be better reflected when looking at I-ready math progress. The SAP is a living document and will be amended to reflect our focus on I-ready math data. That is not to say that Dreambox lesson progress is not important. It is! Lesson progress will have an impact on I-ready data and should be reflected there.
Panorama survey
I will be sharing the full building data profile from the survey you and students took in the spring regarding learning and culture during team meetings on Dec. 6th and 7th. Specialty teachers please feel free to join a grade level team meeting on one of those days or set up a time to meet with me and I can review the data with you individually. (We will also touch base on TST students during these team meeting times.)
Retention
If you have any students that retention is a consideration for or a concern you need to have made myself, Brittany, and parents aware. These are conversations that MUST take place prior to Christmas break.
Observations
There are still a few of you that need to schedule your observation with me. This observation needs to take place before Christmas break.
