Upcoming PD Day
Our last 1/2 day PD day will be May 12th from 1-3:45. The session will be held at our school in the library. I have planned a fun and engaging afternoon focusing on strategies to use for engagement during review. We will also participate in our first faculty Breakout EDU.
Kagan Strategies for Test Prep
Here are a 5 Kagan Structures you can easily integrate into your review.
Teacher Feature
Shelby Smith shared with the staff how to take a deeper look into student data. This out of the box approach allows her to truly determine the needs of her students.
After attending the SAMR Mindshift Monday, Mrs Webster went to work implementing higher level technology with her classes. Students learned how to embed videos into presentations and shared during one of Mrs. Hood's visits.
Mrs. Knauss and Mrs. McCoy had well organized and very detailed MTSS folders. This is extremely important as we track the success of interventions over time.
Mrs. Wilkins is always willing to help her colleagues. Mrs. Chylene and Mrs. Wilkins worked together to provide strategies and support for a child with autism in Pre-K.
MTSS Close Out Procedures
2. Following EOY assessments, review and update tier paperwork.
3. Continue to document interventions through the end of May.
