Framing Questions

What evidence do we have that our teams are moving through

the cycle to meet the needs of our students?

English

Progress Monitoring:

• Common lesson planning document– Unpacking and refining units

• School-wide writing sample, baseline • Vertical articulation in grammar • Grammar baseline in all grades• Teacher data sheets• Collecting evidence of student learning in Tier

1 instruction to drive differentiation• Data dialogues• Small group instruction

Science 7 Strategy Ladder + Small-group Plans

Strategy Ladder

Moving a 1 to a 2 means practice making, talking about, and writing observations in order to develop and use scientific vocabulary.

Moving a 2 to a 3 means using evidence to support observations and introducing claim/evidence/reasoning scaffold.

Department Meetings - Science

October 14

● All teams will come together to examine SOL data + Pre-Assessment data by reporting category

● Teams will develop a plan to support spiraling essential content throughout every unit; we will use MOY and EOY to check students’ progress and compare to last year

Next Steps - Science

6th 7th 8th

Walkthrough debriefs this week with teachers and CT

Use walkthroughs to shift instruction from mostly teacher led to student led with a focus on high-level academic tasks

Use lesson refining process to find opportunities to embed small group instruction and modeling in lessons
