Grade Level Meeting: Recap 3/19/15
3rd Grade
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your flexibility, effort and commitment for the implementation of the Skill Based Centers! It has been a great success!
In only 6 weeks, 77 out of 114 students grew at least 1 level!!! That's 67% of our scholars!!!
Before the SBC there were 10 students at a 5th grade level, and now there are 44! Way to go, third grade!!!
Skill Based Centers
What worked:
- Students like to use them, they are engaged
- Walking around to figure out the strategy with the students
- Use strategies with problems on the board
- Students keep each other accountable
Next steps & improvements:
Close gap earlier by:
- Begin next school year with addition during the first weeks of schools
- Include Multiplication around November-December
- Mrs. Iwasko will share videos through Torsh on the Exemplars section, to show the explanation of strategies by other students.
Next steps starting after STAAR:
- Use flashcards or cut the screener for students to quiz each other every other Friday. This will be a progress monitoring for students to move between levels faster.
- Third Friday (6th week) administer screener in small groups.
