Taylor TLI Takeaways
October 2015
BOY TLI Data Meeting
9:00 - 12:00
Events Center
Attendees: Principals, Instructional Specialists, Central Office representatives
Principals may invite other members of their campus team to this meeting.
TLI Updates and Workgroup sessions: In each section below you will see an introduction to the workstations and some guiding questions. You do not need to come with all of the guiding questions answered. You should come with thoughts and answers along the lines of these guiding questions in order for us to have rich and impactful conversations. Please don't let the questions limit you either - we are assuming you will bring your own relevant thoughts to the table too. (The information in the parenthesis tells you where you can look in the Texas State Literacy Plan and the tslpresource.org site for more information as you prepare.)
The product at the end of this TLI Data Meeting is to create a first draft of a 5-7 minute presentation that summarizes the key points and campus action steps resulting from the conversations during the workstations.
I am also available to schedule a time for us to work together as you prepare for this meeting - give me a call or email.
RTI Process Station
At this station we will share out and discuss both our RTI processes at the campus level and at the district level. Please come prepared to share what works at your campus and ideas for how to vertically align to create a district wide process that ensures kids succeed.

What elements would you like to see in a district wide RTI process? (R2)
How can we vertically align to ensure seamless support for students in campus transitions? (R2)
DIP/QAP Station
At this station we will share out and discuss utilizing the DIP/QAP as a living document and possible updates to the format. Please come prepared to discuss the components in our DIP/QAP along with your ideas on improving our use of the DIP/QAP as an actionable document. (L3, R2)
Guiding Questions:
How can we better connect the SMART goal format in the top section to the QAP in the bottom section?

What do you consider to be essential elements for a DIP/QAP that will enable you to strategically create actionable plans that specifically impact student achievement?

How are your SPED and ELL students doing compared to previous years/cohorts and compared to other students?
What evidence do you have regarding SPED and ELL students response to any specific programs you are using on your campus?
