Step 2 / Mrs. Penn & BLT members / Time: 3:15 – 3:25
Step 2: Analyze strategy use.
  • What were some issues with the strategy?
  • Did the teachers that had the best results use the strategy differently or more consistently?
/ Step 2: Analyze the effectiveness of the strategy.
  • How many students were in the red after the strategy?
  • Whatsubgroup showed the least growth?

Issues:
* Felt like students were being spoon-fed
* Student vocab was an issue
* Student time in class
* Lack of consistency with assessment
* Absences and behaviors were a hurdle
Best results:
* Daily lessons were more effective
* Using Modeling along with the strategy / 13.6 Non-linguistic Essentials SWD
21.3 Similarities and differences 7 Red White
32.7 Similarities and differences 8 Red White
35 Reinforcing effort and ach. 7 Gray Multi
15.7 Reinforcing effort and ach. 8 Gray Multi
Step 3 & 4 / Mr. Winkler, Mr. Collins & TBT members / Time: 3:25 – 3:35
Step 3 – Establish shared expectations
for implementing specific and effective changes consistently across all classrooms. What strategies being implemented by the ADULTS will be shared/continued or stopped. / Step 4 – Implement Changes Consistently
  • What will you see in the classroom when the selected strategies are implemented?
How will we know if we implemented with fidelity?
  • Essentials chose to continue with the Non-linguistic
  • 7 Gray will continue with effort charts
  • 8 Gray will discontinue- too time consuming
/
  • Student work should be up walls
  • Grades should start improving
  • Smart goals should be more kid-friendly to mean more to them

Step 5 – At the next meeting: / 3:25 – 3:50
  • Math Solutions

  • 5-Step Quarterly Assessments

Reflection / Mrs. Penn & Team / Time: 3:50 – 3:55
