Reflection from the Week:
PBS News from the Coaches:
Below is the lessons to teach for October. Remember, we teach lessons once a week on Tuesdays
10-9: Spartan Lesson #38
10-16: Spartan Lesson #42
10-23: Spartan Lesson #12
10-30: Spartan Lesson #14
CLT Focus on Monday 10/15
- Dana and Julie share from their day at DESE working with Math items
- Discuss Mystery Science
- Data Teaming/PLC Process- Document-- what did you walk away with as agreed upon instructional approaches or strategies?? Are you using the backwards design approach with the assessment??
Please be conscious of where you are in the process. Are you doing more than looking at the scores? Are conversations being had about what worked well and how we can support our students and one another? This is the MAGIC that I want to see our teams work towards and use to grow our TRIBE!!
iReady
- Growth Monitoring will be available soon. Title and Spartan Tutoring will use this as a way each month to assess growth on our targeted students and their areas of need for Reading and Math.
- On Monday we will have individuals attend the afternoon PD for iReady-- they will share with us what they learn later at an AM meeting time or briefly at CLT.
DRA Testing
Those not assessed will still need to be updated in SIS to move their data up to be current. This is due on 10/12.

Reminders and To Do's:

- Use your 4 to 1 Ratio and focus on the Positive -- give the tickets for those positive behaviors you see and accentuate how you appreciate those students.

- Be sure to go onto the Conferences Doc that Melissa shared this week, and sign up Admin, Counselor or Resource Coordinator if you need us present at the conference.
