Classroom Teachers,
On Monday you'll have flexibility to use your Day 6 time to plan core instruction with your team, differentiate for students who need extension/reteaching or learn together as a grade level. When using the protocol, you can choose one of the three areas to work on. Feel free to use the math protocol instead, if you are ready to pre-plan for an upcoming math unit.
Our staff meeting on Tuesday will be for classroom teachers. K-2 teachers will meet in the media center with a focus on running records. Please bring your materials from the most recent ELA district staff development. We'll review how to infuse running records into your guided reading lessons, and give you time to decide which running record format you feel the most comfortable with. The remainder of the staff meeting time will be spent getting running records copied so you'll be ready to move forward with them. Kelli Hedlund will also be able to help those of you who want to use the running record app to assess your students.
Intermediate teachers will meet in the art classroom. Please be ready to plan using the F+P Continuum, MAP Continuum or the Decartes Reading Vocabulary by RIT. Think about what resource you included in your SLO action plan. You will also be able to use this time for making copies of materials needed either for future whole group or guided reading lessons. Amanda McCarthy or I'll will be available to assist your teams.
Under the PBIS tab, I have included a powerful article published in the Washington Post in regards to students with lagging social/emotional skills. It is a nice companion piece to the information I shared in an earlier blog.
