Data Analysis - Round 1
Last week we met to analyze the data from our first round of common assessments. Whether the data was surprising or confirming, we now have good information to use as we plan for the upcoming six weeks. Remember to spiral the low SEs into your current curriculum map and lesson plans to address the weaknesses of your students. Tutoring will begin next week where you will be able to target those weaknesses even further.
As we discussed in our meetings, it is crucial that you have the test developed in advance to make sure you plan for and cover all of the SEs that will be on the assessment. By doing this, you will not put your students at a disadvantage, or impact your results negatively by testing untaught material.
Thanks for all of the great things you are doing for our students. I am proud of the work you are doing. Keep up the great work!
Never a Dull Moment with MRS
1. Response Cards
2. Whip-Around
3. Modified Whip-Around
4. Think-Pair Share
5. Quick Response
6. Table Talk
7. Oral/Choral Response
8. White Board
These are examples of Effective Multiple Response Strategies that each teacher should have mastered in their toolbox. Remember, when watching for MRS, that the choice of MRS is planned and strategic. See a picture below of an MRS toolkit Ms. Jimenez's students bring with them to the carpet to be prepared for any engagement strategy.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parent conferences will take place this Thursday. Thank you for making an effort to meet with each of your parents! Building stronger relationships with parents will pay off with student achievement. Remember to share the positive things that are going on with your classes and invite them to volunteer and let them know how they can support you this year!
Dinner will be served in the cafeteria after dismissal.
