Monthly Observations-Focus and Instructional Specialists
1. While I do fill out the whole form, my focus this month is feedback related to academic conversations. I am looking for conversations that push into "Level 3". The description is: "Students build on ideas and evaluate information by connecting, adding or giving counter examples."
2. I am seeing many teachers use the services of the Instructional Specialists. If you haven't reached out to your specialist, please do so. They are useful, easy to use, talented group of specialists who can help us grow quality instructional practices.
